Fender Custom Shop Faded Aged Custom 1951 Precision Bass - Sage Green Metallic/Summer Showcase Event Instrument #XN04327

The Fender Custom Shop Faded Aged Custom 1951 Precision Bass in Sage Green Metallic, created for the Summer Showcase Event and designated as instrument #8, is a refined tribute to the earliest era of the Precision Bass, blending period-correct inspiration with Custom Shop craftsmanship and a subtly aged aesthetic. Its lacquer finish, treated with a faded aged relic character, sits over a lightweight ash body that delivers both resonance and classic single pickup punch. At 9 lbs 0 oz, it carries a solid, grounded feel that supports strong fundamental tone and vintage-style sustain.

The quartersawn flame maple neck, shaped to a substantial 51 P Bass “U” profile, provides a firm and authoritative grip that reflects early Fender bass design philosophy. The unfinished neck back enhances natural feel and fast movement, while the 12 inch radius and 20 medium jumbo 6150 frets introduce a more modern playing surface within a vintage framework. A bone nut and vintage disc string tree reinforce traditional construction and tuning stability.

Tonally, this Precision Bass is driven by a Custom Shop hand-wound ’55 Precision Bass pickup, delivering thick, focused low end, rich midrange presence, and the classic punch that defined early electric bass recording. Vintage Precision Bass wiring keeps the signal path simple and direct, preserving the instrument’s natural warmth and dynamic response.

The 1-ply black phenolic pickguard, 51 P-Bass bridge, and vintage-style tuning machines maintain strict adherence to early Fender design language, while the overall faded aged treatment gives the instrument a lived-in character without sacrificing precision or build quality.

Housed in a deluxe hardshell case, this Summer Showcase Event Precision Bass stands as instrument #8, representing a faithful yet refined interpretation of Fender’s original 1951 bass design, combining historical authenticity with Custom Shop-level refinement and playability.
