UNIVERSAL

Fender’s Parallel Universe range wasfirst announced at NAMM a year ago, focusing on basses

that combine features from various models from the F stable. The final entry in the line-up is the ‘51 Telecaster PJ Bass, which as you might imagine features elements taken from Telecaster, Precision and Jazz models. There’s a Telecaster maple neck with American Vintage ‘63 P-Bass profile, bolted to a slab ash ‘51 P Bass body; a Custom Shop ‘60s Jazz Bass single-coil bridge; ‘60s P-Bass split-coil middle pickups; a HiMass Vintage bridge; and old-school stacked concentric volume controls. Grab one for £1,609.
