If you're a bass player with a yen for a vintage P-Bass but wishing they weren't so expensive, here is a great alternative.  The Fender Custom Shop has created a time capsule version of a 1961 Precision Bass that has the look, feel, and sound of a treasured vintage model.  We love the aged Sherwood Green Nitro finish.

Freshly set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech, this P-Bass is playing and sounding like heaven.  Comes with a Custom Shop hard shell case, of course.  

FROM FENDER:

For the Limited Edition 1961 Precision Bass Relic, Fender Custom Shop artisans referenced several original ’61s and exhaustively analyzed them to ensure a painstaking level of vintage accuracy. Every facet of the original instruments — including minute details such as curves, perimeters, radii and more — was examined, measured, evaluated, and ultimately incorporated into this amazing instrument. Take it from us: what you see in this remarkable axe is more than the sum of its parts. It’s a highly playable, eminently musical-sounding re-creation of an iconic instrument that changed music forever.
