Electric Basses
Many of the doublebass players that visit the shop also play electric bass guitar or electric upright bass as well. I'll be stocking more electric basses, ranging from classic vintage instruments to fine contemporary basses.
2011 Fender Custom Shop "1955 Precision Bass Relic" (3019)
A mint condition example of the Custom Shop version of Fender's transitional 1955 style Precision bass that incorporated the contoured body corners onto the old earlier "Telecaster" version with the single coil pickup, Telecaster style headstock shape, Single layer white pickguard, and semi-transparent blonde finish over a light weight ash body. The neck is a C profile that I find very comfortable. The bass plays beautifully, has the classic single coil tone, and includes the original case with all of the case candy. It reminds me an awful of of my old 1953 Precision Bass.
$2500
