Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Phil Lynott Precision Bass Masterbuilt By Kyle McMillin

Thin Lizzy’s Phil Lynott — an irreplaceable musician

It was hard to take your eyes off of Phil Lynott when he was onstage with Thin Lizzy, thanks to his giant head of hair, outlandish clothing, and mirrored aviator sunglasses that matched the reflective pickguard on his signature Fender P Bass. Phil had a unique way of attacking his instrument — he almost appeared to be strumming it. His up-front bass lines were as integral to Thin Lizzy’s music as his off-the-beat vocal phrasing. From its riftsawn maple neck to its mirrored pickguard and relic’d ash body, the limited-edition Fender Custom Shop Phil Lynott Precision Bass is a spot-on re-creation of an irreplaceable musician’s one-of-a-kind instrument.

Versatile and straightforward electronics

When you think of some of your favorite fat, meaty, and hard-hitting bass lines, there’s a good chance you’re thinking about the sound of a Fender Precision Bass. Thanks to its hand-wound ’78 split single-coil P Bass pickup, you can count on the limited-edition Phil Lynott Precision Bass to pump out dynamically intense and deeply satisfying bass tone. Here at Sweetwater, some of us play with a pick and some play with our fingers. Either way, we’re impressed by the clear sound and serious sonic impact of the Fender Custom Shop Phil Lynott P Bass.
