Fender Telecaster Bass Blonde, 1972 –*NO LONGER AVAILABLE*

Fender Telecaster Bass Blonde, 1972 --*NO LONGER AVAILABLE*

The Fender Telecaster Bass launched in the surprisingly late year of 1968, though its appearance is very much like the original, revolutionary 1951 Precision Bass. From a modern perspective, there isn’t a lot to the Fender Telecaster Bass. It is basically an ash or alder slab body with a one-piece maple neck bolted to it, a bridge, and from 1968 to 1972 a single coil pickup with volume and tone controls.
