Originally launched in 1968, the Fender Telecaster Bass was a reissue of the original 1951 Precision Bass, introduced to re-establish the early slab-body design with its signature single-coil pickup and classic slab aesthetics. This 1969 model predates the 1971 update, which featured a larger humbucking pickup.<\/p>\n
This particular example has been refinished in a now nicely aged Olympic White nitrocellulose lacquer and has had Stratocaster-style body contours added. It also has a routing for a Jazz Bass style pickup, which is clearly visible in the photos. All hardware is original. Pots have been replaced, the original single-coil pickup is dated 1969, and the neck is dated 1968.<\/p>\n
Playability has been enhanced with a modern jumbo fret refret, and the bass plays beautifully with excellent resonance. Weight is lovely and light at 4250g. It includes its original Fender export case.<\/p>\n
Famous users of the Telecaster Bass include Dusty Hill of ZZ Top, who favored the early single-coil models, and Paul Simonon of The Clash, who played a later version. The single-coil Telecaster Bass delivers bright, articulate tones with vintage bite\u2014ideal for rock, roots, and punk.<\/p>\n
