Fender 1956 Precision Bass Sunburst

On June 8, 2021 /

The Fender 1956 Precision Bass was a transition model and the last production version of this fantastically influential instrument before it took its final form in 1957. Introduced in 1951 with a ‘slab’ body and single coil pickup, the Precision Bass was rapidly popular and in 1954 gained ‘comfort contours’ to match the new Stratocaster model. In 1957, the P-Bass was revised with a larger headstock, new pickguard and the two-coil humbucking pickup that Fender, like most manufacturers, had been developing.

⚌Reduced‼ Fender Precision Bass Maple Neck Black, 1975

On April 9, 2021 /

Here we have a handsome, almost all original, Fender Precision Bass Maple neck built at the CBS/Fender Fullerton plant in 1975 – the pot codes date to 1974. First appearing in October 1951, the Fender Precision bass was a brilliant piece of industrial design. This innovation brought modern influences to the bass world – such as the ability to reliably and consistently produce a precise pitch, and to play at any volume without feedback. Quickly adopted, the Precision Bass was updated in 1954 to visually match the new Stratocaster, and has been in production with really only minor modifications since then. The P-Bass is arguably one of the most functionally successful bass instruments ever built, having appeared on more recordings and stages than any other bass.

❌SOLD❌ Fender Telecaster Maple Neck Black, 1978

On February 22, 2021 /

The Fender Telecaster Maple Neck has been built without interruption since 1951, though models dating to 1950 used the name ‘Broadcaster’. The concept is simple yet was revolutionary, immediately appealed to countless guitarists and prompted many advances in musical technology. Here we’re looking at a Fender Telecaster Maple Neck with a black Polyester finish, worn enough through use to have exposed blonde and clear sealer finish undercoats. At the time, if Fender had orders for colours not in stock, they would re-finish a body. For example, this guitar’s body may well have originally been Blonde, and over-sprayed black before assembly and shipment.

On February 11, 2021 /

Here we have a beautiful Fender P Bass, Rosewood fingerboard model dating to 1963 or late 1962, showing a lot of honest play wear from years of use in Toronto jazz clubs. Leo Fender started shipping the ground-breaking Precision Bass in October of 1951. In 1954, it gained the new ‘Stratocaster’ style body contours. In 1957 the new two-coil hum-cancelling pickup and larger headstock and this is the form that has continued to present time. In mid 1959 Fender, seeking more market share in the Jazz crowd, added a Rosewood fingerboard to the Precision bass to match the 1958 Jazzmaster.
