Vintage Bass - Fender Telecaster Bass

!±8± Vintage Bass - Fender Telecaster Bass

Fender telecaster bass is an electric vintage guitar. This guitar came in the market in 1968. This guitar is also called a Tele Bass. This device was made by Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. This organization deals with production of music equipment that produces bass. The classic basses are used as Precision and Jazz. The electric guitar instruments are used as Stratocaster and Telecaster.

This guitar was used up to the periods in 1970s. There were some modifications that were done on the guitar that made the initial model primitive and outdated. Therefore, this model became extinct in 1979.

However, in 2007 there was another model of guitar introduced that was called Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass TB. This Fender subsidiary Squier is being manufactured by the same company that had its model discontinued in '79.

This guitar was named telecaster in honor of the Telecaster guitar model. The new version of the guitar was based in the original model that was used in the vintage bass guitar that was discontinued in the 1979. The major difference that is between the current guitar model and the former is that the bass is a double cut away guitar and the latter is a single cut away guitar. This feature makes this guitar look like the squire 51.

The telecaster bass guitar was officially launched in 1968. This vintage guitar was a model of the 1951 precision base model. It was influenced by the telecaster guitar. These guitars had the following major features incorporated in its large pickguard, small headstock that looked like a telecaster, one pickup and different chrome control plate. The old models were designed with duo-pieced maple cap without skunk stripe on back side of the neck. Some of the vintage bass guitars have paddle style tuners which are rare. These tuners were only available from on jazz bass.

There was another vintage bass that was available in the 1960s. This was slim and had more mounting screws than the previous versions of the 1950s. The previous models also had three different types of head decal. The oldest was installed with silver telecaster guitar logo that. The underneath of this logo had the word base inscribed in it. This decal is at the moment associated with the prototypes only.

There was a second bigger, black gold outlined Telecaster base Logo. The base and the fender are supposed to be in the same style.

The third kind of the vintage bass was the most popular of all. It had silver Fender script that had its bass written in san serif font type below.

Fender Japan modeled another kind of 1951 precision. This new version was a reissue of the original telecaster base. This bass was introduced in the market and has a lot of features that almost reassemble the original versions that were created in the 1951. Examples of these similarities are the string ferrules. They are exactly the same as those that were used in the original vintage bass.

The Secret Of Jeff Beck's Guitar Tone

!±8± The Secret Of Jeff Beck's Guitar Tone

Jeff Beck is probably the most uncompromising rock guitar player - highly unique, versatile, and non-commercial.

He dismisses guitar picks because they are in the way of the true guitar tone, usually doesn't use effects and surprises (and confuses) his listeners with radical changes in stylistic direction. His use of the vibrato bar is unique, his use of tone and volume pots masterful. He often turns down the tone pot altogether and compensates the lack of treble through increased distortion, creating his unique, singing lead tone.

Just with his fingers, vibrato bar and the use of tone and volume pot he can create almost effect-like tones. No other guitarist is so in control of the guitar. Jeff Beck is the master of self-expression.

In terms of equipment Jeff goes through several interesting stages. During his 'Yardbird' days he'd usually rely on early 60's Telecaster models, usually with rosewood fingerboard.

He also used a '52-Mapleneck Tele, modded by Seymour Duncan with Gibson Humbuckers. Around that time Seymour also developed his popular SH-4 Jeff Beck Humbucker.

Then Beck moved on to Gibson Les Pauls to record his legendary Jazzrock albums 'Blow By Blow' and 'Wired'. After meeting Hendrix and his explosive music he contemplates his approach and already on the recordings to 'Wired' he is experimenting with the Fender Stratocaster. This will from now on be his main type of guitar. In the 80's Jeff flirts with a Jackson 'Super-Strat-Style' guitar only to return to Fender, when they launch the 'Strat Plus'. In 1991 Fender comes out with the Jeff Beck Signature Stratocaster and in the later updated model Fender slimmed down the super-chunky neck (which many guitarists found unpractical) and put a set of 'noiseless' Pickups in.

Ampwise, Jeff Beck is always straight forward. During his stint with the 'Yardbirds' a Vox AC-30 is the only amp available. But for his own music he wants a louder and more aggressive tone. So he gets his first Marshall Full-stack. Over time, he replaces his Plexi Marshalls with the JCM-2000. From now on he uses a 50-watt top and two 4x12" cabinets to create his colourful tone.

Only twice he uses different equipment: for the movie soundtrack 'Frankie's House' he plays his Strat and Tele into a Digitech GSP-21 Legend direct into the mixing desk.

For 'Crazy Legs', a tribute to his idol Cliff Gallup he uses a '56 Gretsch Duo Jet and several vintage Fender Combos (Tremolux, Tweed Bassman, Concert & 2x12" Cab and Fender Twin) to recreate the typical Gallup sound.

Review: Fender Standard Telecaster

!±8± Review: Fender Standard Telecaster

The Fender Telecaster is probably one of the great electric guitar developments of the 20th century. Its dual-pickup, solid body design, although simple, has effectively set trends in popular music history. The Fender Standard Telecaster does exactly what it says - it sets the standard for all other guitar manufacturers to follow.

The Standard Telecasters are made out of Fender's hi-tech production facility in Mexico. This allows Fender to produce a high quality guitar at an affordable price.

The Fender Standard Tele had a few subtle upgrades in 2006. For instance, the edges at the neck were smoothed off, similar to the American made models. Also, the frets were replaced with slightly larger fret wire which is preferred to the skinny frets. In addition, they use a bridge where the strings go through the body of the guitar, rather than fixing to the bridge itself. This improves the tome and sustain of the guitar.

Sound:

This Fender Standard Telecaster sounds amazing for having only 2 single coil pickups. The neck pickup has the classic, clean tone. The bridge produces the iconic telecaster twang. The middle is more of a bright, rich sound, which goes with any kind of music.

Playability:

This guitar is very intuitive, comfortable and user-friendly. It seems that Fender really pays attention to the various player-centric details, like the fret and nut work, and the rolled fret edges.

The playability of this Tele is great. You'll notice that a first string whole tone bend is possible with no volume loss on the bent note and feels comfortable even around the 3rd fret.

Features:

* Model: Fender Standard Telecaster

* Body: Alder

* Neck: 1-Piece Maple, Modern "C" Shape

* Fingerboard: Maple, 9.5″ Radius (241mm)

* Frets: 21 Medium Jumbo

* Pickups: 2 Standard Tele Single-Coil Pickups (Neck & Bridge)

* Controls: Master Volume, Master Tone

* Bridge: Standard 6-Saddle String-Thru-Body Bridge

* Machine Heads: Fender/Ping Standard Cast/Sealed Tuning Machines

* Pickguard: 3-Ply Parchment

* Accessories: Standard Gig Bag

Value:

For the money, this is probably the best bang for the buck. You may hear people say that it can't do heavy rock or metal. However, if you adjust the tone knob and use the neck or the middle pickup, you should be fine.
