For a sound that effortlessly cuts through the mix, it's got to be the Vintage J-Bass pickups. This duo of electronics are hand-wound, ensuring each model delivers its own unique tonality. When combined, your instrument is infused with vibrant and unforgettable tones. Not only that, but each note projects with power and articulation. The lead pickup, which is located in the bridge position, produces rich, warm, and creamy tones, whilst the neck's rhythm pickup adds a tight and punchy sonic. And for those who like genre hopping, the tone and volume controls let you shape your sound to suit your desired style. The '64 Jazz Bass provides a beautiful palette to experiment with.
A bass that plays like a dream
Its looks alone are guaranteed to enchant anyone. However, the elegant design is much more than its beautiful aesthetic, and its playability is truly dreamy. Its neck is sculpted with a '64 U profile, which offers a smooth and mesmerising performance with such a timeless instrument. It's shape rests naturally in the palm of your hand, allowing you to fret with ease and pluck each string with the confidence of a bass god. And with the 7.25" fingerboard radius, your playing experience is enriched even more. This bass meets the demands of the modern performer, whilst offering Fender's rich history and legacy. Take centre stage.
It's a relic
Forged in a bygone era. Or at least, it looks like it has been! The Custom Shop '64 Jazz Bass wears Fender's heavy relic finish to give it tonnes of personality. This treatment extends to every part of the instrument, inside and out, to create the vibe of a well-loved and played bass.
From the subtle discolouration of the neck finish to the careful ageing of the chrome and nickel hardware, this Custom Shop bass has seen a few stages. So, if you want a workhorse instrument that'll feel like slipping on your favourite pair of shoes, this '64 Jazz will make you feel at home.
Keep your bass scuff and scratch free
Although the heavy relic gives this model the appearance of a worn-out look, you still want to ensure that your bass stays in pristine condition. Keep the nitrocellulose lacquer finish looking sleek and shiny courtesy of the included Custom Shop case. Thanks to its elegantly contoured interior and plush lining, travelling has never felt so stress-free. Your bass is guaranteed protection when moving from gig to gig. Not only does it keep your instrument safe, but you can also ensure you have all of your required accessories on hand at all times thanks to the included storage compartment. Strings, picks, straps, tuners, and more will always be with you no matter where you go. Keep travelling untroubled.
