{"product_id":"vintage-fender-telecaster-bass-51-reissue-usa-1970","title":"SOLD - Vintage Fender Telecaster Bass '51 Reissue - USA 1970","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"77\" data-end=\"599\"\u003eThe Fender Telecaster Bass, introduced in 1968, was a tribute to Leo Fender’s original 1951 Precision Bass design. It marked a return to the slab-body aesthetic, single-pickup simplicity, and the unmistakable butterscotch blonde finish that defined the first-ever electric bass guitar. This example is a unique combination of vintage Fender components, featuring a 1968 body, a 1970 neck, and original 1964 pots, blending eras of Fender craftsmanship while staying true to the instrument’s classic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"642\" data-end=\"1098\"\u003eThis Telecaster Bass retains its original pickup and electronics, delivering the signature warm, punchy, and articulate tone that defined early Fender basses. The single-coil pickup, mounted in the middle position, offers a deep yet responsive low end with a rich harmonic presence—perfect for vintage blues, rock, country, and soul tones. The sound is woody, percussive, and dynamic, with a natural resonance from the solid ash body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1100\" data-end=\"1448\"\u003eThe 4-bolt maple neck has a classic chunky \"C\" profile, providing a substantial feel that suits both finger players and pick users. The wear on the neck gives it an effortless, broken-in playability that only decades of real use can create. The butterscotch finish has aged beautifully, giving it an authentic, time-worn aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1786\"\u003eThis bass is in good player-grade condition, showing some wear, but all cosmetic. It retains its original pickup and pots, ensuring a truly vintage tone. The pickup cover is missing, but this does not affect functionality. It comes with a non-original hard shell case for protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1786\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis is a rare opportunity to own a Fender Telecaster Bass with a unique blend of vintage Fender parts, offering authentic vintage tone, solid playability, and undeniable mojo.
