help Nash PB-52 FAQ
What makes the Nash PB-52 different from a modern Fender Precision Bass?
The Nash PB-52 is an American-made bass explicitly modeled on the original 1952 Precision design rather than modern iterations. It features a thicker, slab-style body without the comfort contours found on basses made after the mid-1950s.
Does the Nash PB-52 use a split-coil pickup?
No, the PB-52 features a single-coil pickup layout, which is historically accurate to the original 1952 Fender Precision Bass. The split-coil hum-canceling pickup that most people associate with the Precision Bass was not introduced until 1957.
Are Nash PB-52 basses brand new or vintage instruments?
While brand new, Nash guitars are built with a relic finish, meaning they are intentionally aged to look and feel like vintage instruments from the 1950s and 60s. This includes artificially worn fretboards, lacquer checking, and rusted hardware.
Who builds the Nash PB-52 bass?
The bass is built by Nash Guitars, a well-known American manufacturer based in Washington state that specializes in vintage replicas. The company is highly regarded for hand-crafting instruments that replicate the tone and aesthetic of classic Fender models.
