Despite some non-original components, this 1959 P Bass has a lot of vintage character from Fender's golden era. It offers super clean low end that makes these basses so coveted. The body has been refinished, and the pickguard has been replaced. The input jack was swapped out and some of the wiring has been replaced. The pickup cover and bridge cover have been replaced (pickup cover included in case). There is significant wear on the back and mild wear on the front.
Includes black Fender hard shell case.
