The production process on guitar

Before the birth of the P-BASS, the band's bass player can only huge DOUBLE BASS. This is very similar to the cello's bass guitar is not conducive to carry, and very clumsy. DOUBLE BASS volume and very small, so that when the show had to need a lot of bass, which now seems very mysterious. LEO FENDER discovered this problem and consider what instruments to replace the huge bass.
30 years, there have been a kind of electric bass, this bass is not resonate with me, and by a simple pickup to get the sound. This is not a warm bass response emergence, at the same time. 40's, when music needs as many guitarist forced unemployment, because as the popularity of dance music, the band was forced to reduce the size of a result was still belongs to the guitar accompaniment of musical instruments useless. These unemployed bass player found LEO FENDER, because they feel DOUBLE BASS too difficult to learn, they need a musical instrument, simple, easy to learn at TreadTang.com.
LEO FENDER ORANGE county in the United States, occasionally seen along the Mexican mariachi band, he suddenly discovered a band of musicians is playing a similar instrument the guitar (we can in the movie "Mexican past" to see the instrument) this scenario to LEO inspiration, the original bass can be the same as the guitar playing, LEO again called MANDOBASS instrument has been another inspiration (MANDOBASS Mandolin is a similar instrument, play mode and DOUBLE BASS the same) on this instrument is the same character as the guitar. Under these conditions, LEO FENDER started to develop a new electric bass.
FENDER already mature at this time, TELECASTER (otherwise known as BORADCASTER) design has been accepted by many people. LEO decided to TELECASTER for the prototype design. LEO has also recruited a number of bass to help him develop bass. In a very short period of time will be successfully developed a prototype acoustic guitar. As the first attempt, so inevitably some of the feeling of a patchwork quilt. As for bass strings hard to find the strength to string volume device, LEO had to DOUBLE BASS strings installed up the volume. Another string is their special. Neck is still using the TELECASTER special Xiaoqin head, when LEO has a gum tree, it is difficult to grasp the length of the neck, because he needs to find a length, the length of the bass can make a comfortable grasp. And can maintain a good balance, but also as long. LEO by the Secretary of the physical copy of his textbook, his secretary's name was Elizabeth Nagel Hayzlett she was a UCLA student. LEO was discovered by accident 34 inches of this data, we tested them, the result was satisfactory, so the effective length of BASS's neck it is 34 inches. Maple manufacturing. As the relatively large body of BASS's piano, so the original TELECASTER LEO have some improvement to do to improve a double bass piano cut body design. Double cut body design of the piano is more beneficial to the overall balance. This design in the three years after the STRATOCASTER's to more fully applied.
Early models of accessories for the black guard, and demolition-style bridge cover, a single-coil pickups, and TELE sound the same set of volume control.
Chin has completed the entire manufacture, the next is from the name of, LEO to the new name Precision electric bass electric bass, precision of meaning is precisely because the neck on the character, so can a good control of bass Intonation. Accurate to perform.
Precision BASS instrument exhibition in 1952 on the display and immediately received a lot of musicians of note, because of its compact size and ease of control, FENDER Precision BASS immediately become a new favorite bass player. FENDER company later changed its name this bass 51 'Precision-BASS. To commemorate their historical value. And the United States FENDER CLASSIC (Classic) Series 1.
