Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition. 

The Fender Custom Shop Closet Classic ’51 Precision Bass is a beautifully aged recreation that captures the look, feel, and tone of an early original. Its two-piece ash body delivers a punchy, resonant foundation with strong low-end presence and clear, woody mids. The single-coil pickup provides articulate, focused tone with vintage character, especially well-suited for classic styles and flatwound strings. The soft 7.25" radius neck adds to the authentic feel, offering a smooth, familiar playing experience. Finished in Nocaster Blonde with a thin flash coat lacquer, it has a naturally worn-in aesthetic that feels true to its roots. Warm, direct, and full of vintage personality, this ’51 P Bass brings a sound that feels timeless and inspiring!
