1956 Fender Precision Bass 2-Tone Sunburst

Here's a 1956 Fender P-Bass in original 2-Tone Sunburst finish. Serial #15619. Hands down one of the coolest 'players' pieces we've come across. This is an original '56 Precision Bass, that's been routed for traditional split coil P-Bass pickups. This originally would have one single coil pickup before changing in '57. If you look at the pic's, the route is right below where the original single coil cavity still is. The pots and pickguard are of course also changed. The bass had another bridge on which also left extra holes. The rest is original. Neck date is 11-56. Playability is fantastic, with easy playing low action. The neck really plays and feels incredible. The pickups are David Allen P-Bass pickups, that sound amazing! Tonally they bring the early 60’s mid range growl and the clean snap of the early 70’s pickups. Extremely versatile. KILLER bass here, and a cool opportunity to get into a '56 P-Bass without paying $15k-$20k! HSC...
