What we say:
At A Glance
The Fender Custom Shop Custom '57 Precision Bass Time Machine in 3-Colour Sunburst is a stunning tribute to one of Mr. Fender's most revered designs. An instrument who's trademark thump and growl has graced the grooves of countless records in all genres of music since its introduction. From country to blues, rock & roll to metal to hip-hop, the Precision bass has done it all.
This stunning recreation of an old school legend boasts a range of superb, vintage-era features including the '57 style Soft "V" neck profile, 7.25" radius, and the gorgeous and authentic sounding Hand-Wound '57 Precision Bass split-coil pickup set for that trademark P-bass sound.
This guitar also boasts Fender Custom Shop's Time Capsule finish, and ultra-thin finish that'll age wonderfully along with the player..
Features We Love:
Custom Shop Built
Home to some of the most talented luthiers in the world, Fender Custom Shop has been producing incredible instruments since they first opened back in 1987. With a wealth of knowledge and skill all under one roof, each one is instilled with some of that Custom Shop magic.
Electronics
This 57 Precision Bass keeps things simple and superb, just like the P-Bass always has. The Hand-Wound '57 P-Bass split coil pickup delivers that classic thump'n'growl tone the P-Bass is renowned for, while the simple One Volume, One Tone layout couldn't be more straightforward and effective.
Time Capsule Finish
This bass boasts the Fender Custom Shop's Time Capsule finish. This ultra thin finish allows for stunning resonance in the instrument, and sports no relic-ing, giving it the look of a fresh out the box guitar from the early '50s. As a result, this instrument will age handsomely with the player, just like the originals back in the day.
Who Is It For?
The player looking for that special bass that looks and plays like a reliable old friend, right out the box.
Highlights:
- Crafted to perfection
- Ultra-thin Time Capsule finish allows for superb resonance
