Pre-1950s there were no mass-produced fretted electric bassed, until Fender released the Precision Bass®. With the Telecaster® style pickup, headstock and slab body, the design remained relatively unchanged for the first decade. The P-Bass® ever since has remained one of the most iconic bass sounds to this very day.
