The Vintage Modified Telecaster Bass Special feature enhanced versatility, thanks to its unusual bass pickup combination. The bass is equipped with a Fender-designed wide range humbucking pickup on the neck and a Duncan designed PB-102 SCPB single-coil pickup on the bridge. A three way pickup selector lets you switch between pickups or combine them to create various bass tone flavors.

Other features of the Telecaster Bass Special include a black “barrel” switch tip, vintage style bridge with four chrome saddles, knurled chrome control knobs, vintage-style tuners and strap buttons, and a single-ply pickguard.
