Fender telecaster bass is an electric vintage guitar. This guitar came in the market in 1968. This guitar is also called a Tele Bass. This device was made by Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. This organization deals with production of music equipment that produces bass. The classic basses are used as Precision and Jazz. The electric guitar instruments are used as Stratocaster and Telecaster.
This guitar was used up to the periods in 1970s. There were some modifications that were done on the guitar that made the initial model primitive and outdated. Therefore, this model became extinct in 1979.
However, in 2007 there was another model of guitar introduced that was called Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass TB. This Fender subsidiary Squier is being manufactured by the same company that had its model discontinued in '79.
This guitar was named telecaster in honor of the Telecaster guitar model. The new version of the guitar was based in the original model that was used in the vintage bass guitar that was discontinued in the 1979. The major difference that is between the current guitar model and the former is that the bass is a double cut away guitar and the latter is a single cut away guitar. This feature makes this guitar look like the squire 51.
The telecaster bass guitar was officially launched in 1968. This vintage guitar was a model of the 1951 precision base model. It was influenced by the telecaster guitar. These guitars had the following major features incorporated in its large pickguard, small headstock that looked like a telecaster, one pickup and different chrome control plate. The old models were designed with duo-pieced maple cap without skunk stripe on back side of the neck. Some of the vintage bass guitars have paddle style tuners which are rare. These tuners were only available from on jazz bass.
There was another vintage bass that was available in the 1960s. This was slim and had more mounting screws than the previous versions of the 1950s. The previous models also had three different types of head decal. The oldest was installed with silver telecaster guitar logo that. The underneath of this logo had the word base inscribed in it. This decal is at the moment associated with the prototypes only.
There was a second bigger, black gold outlined Telecaster base Logo. The base and the fender are supposed to be in the same style.
The third kind of the vintage bass was the most popular of all. It had silver Fender script that had its bass written in san serif font type below.
Fender Japan modeled another kind of 1951 precision. This new version was a reissue of the original telecaster base. This bass was introduced in the market and has a lot of features that almost reassemble the original versions that were created in the 1951. Examples of these similarities are the string ferrules. They are exactly the same as those that were used in the original vintage bass.
