Here for sale we have a Fender OPB51-95SD '51

Reissue Precision in 2 tone Sunburst finish.

OPEN TO OFFERS

Crafted in Japan from 2002 to 2004, this bass presents an accurate take on the bass that brought in so many revolutionary designs. This bass features a bolt-on neck construction comprising an Ash body, Maple neck, and a 20-fret Maple fingerboard. So that it can offer the most authentic vintage experience, this bass comes with a USA OPB-Vintage 2 saddle bridge, reverse wound vintage Open-Gear tuners, period accurate single ply scratchplate and a Single-Coil Precision pickup with a master volume and master tone control.

The Maple neck plays very comfortably, with the 1951 'C' profile filling the hand nicely while still allowing for comfortable reach in all registers and promoting ergonomic thumb positioning. The double cutaway body design offers extended access into the upper register. This works well with the Gloss finish to the rear of the neck, allowing for smooth navigation of the 34" scale. The 7.25" radius makes for a great feel under the fingers, and provides the versatility required for a wide range of styles and techniques.

The tone of the 51 Precision Bass is exactly what you'd expect from such a traditional design. The single coil pickup delivers a vintage flavour with a snappy response and a defined top. When the tone is rolled off the vintage Fender 'Thump' comes through. Each note across the entire fretboard is articulated and balanced with no muddiness in the lower registers and a punchy timbre across all notes. The simplicity of the controls ensure that you can stay focused on your playing whilst still offering comprehensive control of your tone.
