The Story

1951 Roasted Precision Bass Heavy Relic Electric Bass 2-Tone Sunburst

You couldn't ask for more vibe than what's already packed into this '51 P-Bass, with its heavy relic 2-Tone Sunburst finish over pieces of ash and maple that have undergone a roasting process. The roasting process not only removes excess moisture and adds stability to the wood, it gives it old-growth qualities that add in some overtones and characteristics of all our favorite vintage electric guitars. With its soft "V" neck profile and vintage size frets, this bass is a joy to play and we're sure you won't want to put it down.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Setup Tools, Strap, Cable, Hang Tags, Paperwork
