"The reissue P-Bass 51 is a special edition P-Bass, crafted with the same appointments and materials as the original '51. It sounds HUGE and has the classic Fender bass tone. At this price, it is very affordable and every serious bass player should have one. "

"When we needed a bigger and meaner bass sound for a recent album project I produced and engineered, I plugged in the Fender '51 Precision Bass for the bass player and he immediately said, "Sold"! The best way to describe the sound of this bass is to say "Mack Truck". It's like a Yeti awakened from its nap and boy, is he mad. Considering this is the first electric bass design, the band and I continue to marvel at how the most simple bass design posesses the most intriguing character we have ever heard. It's truly an amazing value, and at this price, every serious bass player should add one to the arsenal."
