(SOLD) Fender Classic 50s Precision Bass Honey Blonde 2012
Fender Classic Series 50s P, honey blonde, made in Mexico 2012. The Classic Series was Fender's tastiest and priciest options made in Mexico in their day, and since being discontinued a couple of years back the used price on them has been steadily creeping up. Fair enough too: this is a well-executed vintage style P with plenty of mojo. The neck is moderately chunky and carved from a tightly grained, pretty piece of maple, it feels and looks classy. The body is a nice piece of ash, it's lightweight and resonant and shows off some nice grain under the blonde finish. Plugged in, this offers a juicy, growly take on the classic P-punch. You can't go too wrong here, this is a really solid simple P that'll deliver goods night after night.
