![]() ![]() ![]() As the original P basses aren't really for everyone I would definitely recommend playing one first, if at all possible. So it's very much like a 51 with countours. Though a four saddle replacement is easily found in either the BAIII, or the American Series or AS Deluxe Bass bridges.Īll that being said, if you get a chance to play a 51RI and find the slab to not agree with you, the Sting bass is a 53 model. It can be done, maybe not perfectly, but very very close, but you will need patience. Also, the old SCPB's come stock with the old two saddle bridge, which means you need to be patient when it comes to getting them intonated. Many people find that this feature makes the bass 'unplayable' for them. ![]() Something to also keep in mind is that the 51RI P bass is a slab body. Also, the vintage 50's B width necks are chunky, meaning that they are usually very thick, front to back. For me nothing beats the original P bass neck. Some players like the modern necks, some don't, and some don't care either way. The AS P has rolled fingerboard edges and the modern 9.5' fretboard radius. However, that is where the similarities pretty much end. Which means that it's the same width at the nut as the AS Precision. The 51 much like the Sting bass has the early 50's B width Precision neck. I love mine.best bass I have ever own, and I've owned some really nice Fenders. It's kind of a hard bass to describe, but it's amazing. It will be ALOT more growly then a Jazz bass, especially with the stock rounds. It will be punchy, but not cold like a split coil, less attack more blossom. Finally, we wax-pot the pickup to preserve the pickup and prevent microphonics.A Single Coil P bass sounds almost like a cross between a Split Coil P and a Jazz Bass. This allows us to achieve unbeatable attention to detail. This gives the pickup a sweet, clear tone. We assemble each pickup one at a time, by hand. Each pickup is wound using our proprietary “Sectioning” technique. We wind each pickup by hand, one at a time. Our bobbins are hand-built using local fiberboard and have incredible attention to detail. Our Split ’51 P-Bass Pickups consist of USA-Made magnets and wire. It starts here: our manufacturing process allows us to achieve unparalleled quality control. Alnico 5 Magnets give this pickup optimal tonal balance and output. By adding a second coil, we were able to achieve a completely silent operation, with a hint of fatness added to it. The extended low end is deep, rich, and full. Our Fralin Split ’51 is the perfect pickup for those who want an era-authentic 50’s P-Bass tone with no hum. The top end is warm and round the low end is full, deep, and dynamic. ![]()
