General

Considered the granddaddy of all basses, the 1958 edition of the Precision Bass has been given the full American Custom Shop treatment. Dripping with authentic vintage flavour, this is the Time Machine Series '58 P-Bass. even before you dig into the time-correct specs, the Heavy Relic finish gives this model the look of a bass that's seen the harsher side of touring life. Even the one-piece quarter-sawn maple neck has been tastefully worn, which doesn't just look awesome, but supports a sweet, played-in feel. The two-piece body, meanwhile, has been carved from hand-selected alder to lay down a classic, friendly and familiar foundation sound.

The Time Machine P-Bass: All About That Bass

The 1957 Soft-V profile treats the thumb of your fret-hand to a firm and confident grip, while the flattened 9.5 inch fretboard radius and set of twenty narrow-tall frets combine to support effortless fret navigation whether spitting riffs or licks. When it comes to the electronics, this bass will even please the ears of the most die-hard Precision devotees, since the amplified sound of the Time Machine '58 P Bass throws things right back to fifties courtesy of a hand-wound Custom Shop '57 Precision Bass split-coil pickup and a timeless two-pot control section.

Zie regelmatig berichten dat hij gesorteerd is en er iets is tussen gekomen. Pas een week lang. Dus het wordt een spannend Sinterklaas of kerst-feest
