2018 US FENDER PRECISION PARALLEL UNIVERSE BASS LIMITED EDITION WITH ORIGINAL CASE
Immaculate condition for this Fender bass , from the 2018 parallel universe limited edition. Only 400 of these basses were made. Just like several other offerings in the Parallel Universe Collection, such as the Jaguar Strat, the Jazz Tele and Strat-Tele Hybrid, the Telecaster PJ Bass mixes and matches several elements from Fender’s history. 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. But in addition to the Custom Shop ’60s P Bass split-coil middle pickup, the Telecaster PJ Bass also boasts a Custom Shop ’60s Jazz Bass single-coil bridge pickup to give you even more tonal options. “A lot of people like the versatility that you can get out of a P Bass that has both styles of pickups,” noted Allen Abbassi, Senior Product Manager for Fendr Electric Guitars and Basses. To control each pickup, there is a stacked volume knob, where the top knob adjusts the volume of the Precision Bass pickup and the bottom adjusts the Jazz Bass pickup. Other premium accoutrements include a nitrocellulose lacquer finish that lets the body breathe for true tonal character and a vintage HiMass bridge with enough heft for rock-solid sustain and intonation. 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. COMES WITH ORIGINAL CASE.

A real gem and a must have for any Warwick enthusiast, this 41 years old Streamer is one of the early “paddle headstock” ones with the original design, before the german company change the look of it after having issues with Stuart Spector. Only the first 300 streamer made came out with the paddle headstock and after the first 150, Warwick added ”licensed by Spector” on the trussrod cover to avoid issues with the American Brand. The serial number on this one is 103, and has a phenomenal neck and weight (3.5kg), making it super comfortable to play and the original EMG pickups have a growl that would make the crowd rattle their teeth.
