- Description
- Guitarchives
Fender Precision Bass, '57 reissue in 2-tone sunburst, crafted in Japan 99-02. We're fans of 2-tone burst around here, it really looks great against the sought-after maple board on this tasty P. The bridge has been replaced with a Badass Bass 2, which is a really smart mod. The higher-mass bridge transfers a lot more vibration to the body, which combined with some added brightness from the maple board means you get a whole heap of definition, clarity, and cut. It growls, it spanks, it thumps... it's got a whole lot of sonic mojo. This is a perfect working bass for those who appreciate a perfectly uncomplicated classic.

Cosmetic condition notes: minor finish wear. There's a pair of minor dings on the top just around from the pickup, as well as a few very minor marks on the both sides of the body. On certain angles it looks like the finish isn't far from developing some checking, but it's hard to see. The chrome and plastics have dulled a little but are looking good. Overall: very good condition (8/10)
Playing condition notes: Action is low, neck is straight, intonation is good, truss rod works. All electrics tested and working properly. Super easy player with heaps of tone!
