The Time Machine series is Fender's own shrine to the heritage and legacy of the pioneers who made the company what it is today. The Fender Custom Shop has reached new heights of craftsmanship with its acclaimed Time Machine series, artfully crafting meticulous replicas using the same techniques and tooling used to create the originals all those years ago.
For 2015, the Custom Shop proudly introduced an expanded selection of premium ''relic'' finishes that have been designed to replicate the worn-in vibe of a genuine vintage instrument. The Relic finish delivers an authentic worn-in wear of a guitar that has experienced many years of regular use. Each one is specially devised to capture the authenticity of original-era Fender, with unparalleled breathability and resonance.
The Custom Shop 1960 Journeyman Relic Jazz Bass is equipped with Custom Shop '60s single-coil jazz bass pickups that are designed to produce era-specific authenticity, as well as chrome covers and special period-correct, dual ''stacked'' concentric control knobs (volume and tone for each pickup). Other premium features include a four-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, an authentic reproduction 4-saddle bridge with ''F'' logo chrome cover, and American Vintage tuners. This 1960 Journeyman Relic transports you to the debut year of the Jazz Bass, and the two-piece Alder body comes complete with an Aged Olympic White finish and nitrocellulose lacquer, helping to impart the appearance of years of aging and light use without heavy wear and tear. Also included is a brown textured vinyl hardshell case with gold interior.
Since 1987, the skilled craftsmen in Fender's Corona, California ''dream factory'' have been producing guitars that are known worldwide for their artistry and unrivaled quality. Ranging from the fine to the fantastic, whether it's building a new custom instrument from the ground up or modifying an existing one, their best is the best. These wonderful instruments have been crafted for and with the input of the world's finest guitarists such as Clapton, Springsteen, Cray, Gilmour, Townshend, Wilko Johnson and Stevie Ray Vaughan, to name just a few.
Introduced in 1960, Fender welcomed a new decade by debuting a deluxe bass guitar, the Jazz Bass. Sleek and supercharged with dual pickups, a slim neck and a curvaceous offset waist, the Jazz Bass has ruled the world of electric bass ever since Fender first introduced it. The versatile and unmistakable tone, effortless feel and performance make the Jazz Bass the number-one choice for professional bassists worldwide.
