The Fender Custom Shop '68 Jazz Bass Journeyman Relic is sure to captivate you, just like the original Jazz Bass captivated bassists back in 1968. With finely crafted details and magnificent, vintage sound, it proves itself to be a true rarity. Firstly, you'll have a sleek maple fingerboard underneath your fingertips. It's adorned with black block inlays - striking, unusual design additions of the day. And to enhance your performance with smooth playability, there is a 1960 Jazz Bass "U"-shaped neck which allows for supremely comfortable transitions from fret to fret.
Of course, it's not all about looks. You also want some crushing, authentic, hot tones ringing through the mix. Two Custom Shop Vintage-Style pickups allow for just that. They're overwound for added depth and growl, whilst the Formvar magnet wire provides a little brightness in the treble response. Experience a superb, vintage-inspired sound that will have you whisked right back to the '60s in an instant. What's more, like all Custom Shop models, the '68 Jazz Bass Journeyman Relic comes equipped with a deluxe hardshell case, strap, and certificate of authenticity.
