Welcome to our NEW VibraWood Custom Shop Pro builds - the new Vintage Tone Monster bringing you the best of both worlds at a performance ready balance & weight!    This is a hand made Custom Shop instrument finished in Nitro Lacquer Custom Color Candy Apple Red Metallic. It includes our Superlite Paulownia wood body with a Canadian Maple neck, Rosewood fingerboard, pearloid blocks, Hipshot ultralite tuners, Hipshot brass bridge and custom wound vintage voiced pickups. We use a NOS vintage paper-in-oil capacitor from Ukraine in the passive custom hand wired tone circuit.  This instrument includes a full foil shielding application to the inner electronic cavities.  Very lightweight, balanced and resonant, this bass has that low mid growl, punch and presence heard on the best recordings throughout the 60's, 70's and 80's!   These basses typically weigh in around 7.5 to 8 pounds, and are ready for stage and studio performances.  Hard shell case included.

We are producing these as our version of vintage Fender instruments made in the 50's. 60's and early 70's. Highly sought after original vintage instruments can bring well over $10,000 and taking them on stage and into studios is a serious risk. These Custom Shop instruments are light weight, resonant and have the feel, playability and tone of the old treasured instruments. They can be used for touring and recording without the risk of loss or damage.

By appointment only - local pickup only.     This is a single family owned, early 1954 original Blonde Fender Precision Bass in Very Good condition. This would be a fantastic addition to a professional players' on stage arsenal or to a collectors stash. Please view all the detailed photos to determine condition to your standards and expectations. There is minor wear on this instrument, considering it is 70 years old, as opposed to some others that have been refurbished or refinished - losing it's originality along the way. It is sporting the original 1950's factory see-thru Blonde lacquer finish over the beautiful select grain Ash wood on the body, and the beautiful clear Maple wood neck. The pick gard is original Bakelite material (pre-plastic, like the old dial telephones from that era). The original markings in this instrument that were photographed for this listing show a handwritten note from factory worker "Gloria" in the electronics cavity, a hand written 11-53 in the neck cavity and "TF-3-54" on the neck heel, bringing this bass to a manufacture year of 1954. The serial number is stamped into the bridge and reads 1003. This bass plays, sounds and feels terrific, like an icon bass from this era should. This is a true time capsule and may be the finest example available for purchase at this time. It is housed in a 1960's Fender bass case with the orange velvet lining and black tolex exterior. Because of the tremendous value and collectability of this iconic bass, it is marked as local pickup only. The right buyer of this fantastic find will have to arrange their own shipping or buy a seat on a plane to their destination. We can't risk damage or loss in the standard shipping arena. We will assist in delivering the instrument to a packer and shipper of the buyers choice, within 20 miles of our location.
