Vintage 51 Bass
Vintage 51 brings back the Fifties!
I always liked Leo´s first Precision, but I thought about a practival 21 century version for today´s players! So we got to work. We had to enlarge the scratchplate to take all the controls. In fact we had the 1956 version in mind as that one had already the rounded edges and contour shapings. However, if someone wants a slab body, we can do it! We can also do the very early version with a single coil pickup and two knobs on a control plate!
This one has Hot Wire Funderbucker Pickups, Hipshot Hardware and U-Retro Elektronics...so: ultra Vintage looks combined with Hot Wire sound and handling!

The body is made of alder, but can be swamp ash or even mahogany. Matte or hi-gloss finish.
