Offered for sale:
Used 1995 Fender Made in Japan '51 Precision Bass Guitar “aka” OPB-51, or Original Precision Bass ’51 Reissue, serial number T012393.
This bass is in very good condition, neck and frets are fine. It has the original white pickguard as well as a non-original tortoise shell version. Both are pictured here. A non-original Zero-Mod thumb rest was also added. It is not in the photo with the white pickguard. That photo shows the screw hole for the thumb rest.
The original pickup was replaced with a Lindy Fralin ‘51 P-Bass. As with the pickguards, both are included.
Cosmetically there are some nicks and marks about the body including several around the lower edges.

The '51 Precision Bass guitar combines great traditional Precision Bass tone in a classic package that bass players and collectors will love!

*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
