This instrument allows bassists to enjoy a time-honored body and headstock shape that are usually only available to guitarists.

This bass guitar has a basswood body with a telecaster single cut-away shape. It has a maple neck that is C shaped, which can let your groovy bass riffs run comfortably across its 32" scale length. You have 20 medium jumbo frets to play with.

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.
