Fender Limited Edition Parallel Universe '51 Telecaster PJ Bass £1500 Suffolk, UK

[Sparky Mark]

2018 Fender Limited Edition Parallel Universe '51 Telecaster PJ Bass in excellent/new condition with all original paperwork, tools and case. Weight: 4.3kg / 9.48lbs.

 

This is a lovely passive PJ bass with an amazing tone, described by Fender as "punchy, growling, seismic and like nothing you've heard before." I agreed when I tried it, hence why I purchased it from new. However, my recent retirement now dictates that my bass collection be trimmed to fund my other addictions. As a Limited Edition it is relatively rare, with a unique set of features which also appealed to me. The translucent nitrocellulose lacquer blonde finish allows the ash grain to show through beautifully IMO.

Also included is the framed Fender promotional Parallel Universe '51 Telecaster PJ Bass artwork to adorn your studio/man cave wall.

Price is £1500 collected from Bury Saint Edmunds or localish meet up.

No trades please, just a straight sale, thank you for looking.

Fender blurb:-

The authentic style extends from the slab body, distinctive single-ply black pickguard to the dual-concentric volume knobs and vintage spaghetti logo on the Telecaster-style headstock — original-era touches brought into the present. What's more, the neck recalls the time of James Jamerson, as it's based on a '63 P Bass profile ideal for funky, thumb-over playing, and the 9.5"-radius fingerboard makes for fast, low action. In all, the '51 Telecaster PJ Bass has the look of the bass that started it all, but several contemporary trappings. The result is a bass that is punchy, growling, seismic and like nothing you've heard or seen before.
