Description

The very first production model solid body bass! Built as a counterpart to the Telecaster, even featuring the same headstock, the P-Bass became one of the most ubiquitous bass seen in music then and now. This first production run bass is in near original condition with just replaced saddles to note, but the originals will be included as well. It plays and feels stellar - It doesn't get better than this!

Includes a non original modern tweed case .

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
