Sparky Mark Posted January 13 Posted January 13 (edited) 2018 Fender USA 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 (only 400 produced), 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. Happy to provide more information or photos on here or via Personal Messenger, just ask. Price is £1500 collected from Bury Saint Edmunds or localish meet up. No trades please, just a straight sale, thank you for looking. Link to Fender video:- Specifications:- Body: Solid Ash. Body Finish: Blackguard Blonde Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer. Neck: Maple with maple fingerboard. Neck Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer Front, Satin Nitrocellulose Lacquer Back. Scale Length: 34 inches (864 mm). Fingerboard Radius: 9.5 inches (241 mm). Nut Width: 1.625 inches (41.3 mm). Controls: Dual Concentric Volumes, Master Tone. Custom Shop '60s P Bass split-coil middle pickup, Custom Shop '60s Jazz Bass single-coil bridge pickup. Stacked volume knob, where the top knob adjusts the volume of the Precision Bass pickup and the bottom adjusts the Jazz Bass pickup. Master tone control. Bridge: 4-Saddle Hi Mass Vintage-Style Bass with vintage-style nickel-plated brass saddles. Tuning Machines: Fender® Lightweight Vintage-Style Keys with Tapered Shafts. 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. Edited 7 hours ago by Sparky Mark 10 Quote

I have obscured the full serial number as I have been advised this can impede scammers from claiming ownership somehow. The details shown above attest to the bass being manufactured by Fender USA in 2018. I have also used the official Fender Serial Number Look Up service, which returns the below details:- I hope this is OK. If there's something else you need the full serial number for, can I ask that you send me a personal message, thank you. Quote
