Made To Order Tele-Precision Bass 4 or 5 string

Tele style Precision Bass, 4 or 5 string - your choice. Individually made to order and customized to your specifications. A mashup of classic style with contemporary features and playability. This design is just plain fun! But don't let the apparent simplicity fool you. The 3 position toggle provides selectable tone ranges via the p-p tone knob, controllable mid scoop also via the tone knob, and mild distortion. Two more ranges can be available on a p-p tone knob, providing a multitude of tones lurking beneath the stripped down appearance, making this a great do-it-all bass. And did I mention fun to play? Other wiring options are available. For expanded versatility, pair a Nordstrand 2B preamp with their vintage P. Available in a variety of themes including gator skin (see images). Click on the image for technical specs and options. 8-12 week lead time from time of order.

-Standard build is passive with great tone options. Vol, Tone, 3 position toggle - Pos 1) light treble cut. Dial it all the way down and get a nice bump in mids, without cutting too much treble. Pos 2) is your standard treble cut.  Pos' 3 is mid scoop. The tone knob attenuates all three options. I use CTS & Noll pots, Oak-Grigsby toggle. The tone circuit is my own design utilizing some tried and true old school methods. The circuit is tailored to the individual p’ups. The treble cut is light – just enough to tame the brightness of new strings. Functionally it tends to behave more like a mid-boost by shifting the resonant frequency of the p’ups down. In the up position, the tone control engages a mid-cut feature. As an added bonus, the mid-cut adds mild tube-like saturation when dimed. All wiring and cavities are redundantly shielded for the quietest operation. I use solid core wire almost exclusively for the best possible signal transfer.
 
- Nordstrand 2B or 3B preamp available as an upgrade. (click the link for specs). Preamp is wired in parallel to compliment the passive tone circuit. Active circuit can be neutralized by setting active tone controls to center. Control layout is fully customizable. 3 band EQ with adjustable mid frequencies is available for a small upcharge.
