Bass of the Week: Black Beard Guitars Fahrenheit 4:51 II
This week we check out a stunning bass by Italian company Black Beard Guitars called the Fahrenheit 4:51 II. Inspired by the Fender ’51 Precision bass, Black Beard calls this “the first electric bass… revisited.”
Its pine body is finished in a roasted semi-gloss and adorned with a an aluminum pickguard that etched with floral patterns. The maple neck has a 7.5″ radius and is fitted with 20 jumbo frets. Black Beard fitted it with a custom alnico II pickup and Kluson vintage tuners.
Check out this heavy demo of the Fahrenheit 4:51 II by Andrea Mandelli:

I absolutely love this bass. Is it possible to get it customized with a String- through- body bridge and a Seymore Duncan stacked P Bass pickup (hum minimized) like in the Fender Custom Shop Dusty Hill Bass ?
Do You have a distributor in Germany?
You did a Great Job!

First yellow pine bass buddy I’ve ever seen. Sounds impressively rock solid to me. Great job.
A work of Art!
