A classic Fender bass design returns with an unusual twist delivering utterly seismic sound. The Fender Telecaster Bass is back at last in the smart form of the Modern Player Telecaster Bass, which boasts not one but two massive humbucking pickups.

Features on the Fender Modern Player Telecaster Electric Bass include an alder body, C-shaped maple neck, maple fretboard with 9.5 inch radius and 20 medium jumbo frets, dual Modern Player Wide Range humbucking Precision Bass pickups, three-ply parchment (Sunburst model) or single-ply black (Butterscotch Blonde model) pickguard, three knurled "chrome-dome" control knobs (neck volume, bridge volume, master tone), vintage-style bridge with four brass saddles, open-gear tuners and nickel/chrome hardware.

Throughout its history, Fender has always made a special point of welcoming players to the family by offering entry-level instruments of remarkable style and substance (such as the Duo-Sonic, Mustang and Musicmaster models), with great sound, classic looks, solid performance and eminent affordability. The Modern Player series continues that great my-first-Fender tradition, with thoroughly modern features and several distinctively unconventional takes on their most revered instruments-all with outstandingly attainable value.

i just received this bass a few days ago and i'm so happy i got it. i saw this bad boy at guitar center after having my heart set on an american standard jazz bass. picked it up and plugged it in. i was amazed by it's sound and features. i already see scratches on the pickguard and pickups which would be a downside to others but not for me. the sound is what should matter. i plugged this bass into my sansamp rbi which is connected to my carvin bx500 and it sounds CHUNKY. i am so happy i saw this bass before spending a fortune on an american made.
