Exquisite relic finish
Vintage charm and modern craftsmanship. This extraordinary instrument showcases an authentic nitrocellulose lacquer relic finish, a remarkable technique pioneered by the Fender Custom Shop. Unlike modern polyurethane finishes, the thin lacquer allows the wood to breathe, enabling the true essence of the bass to shine through. The result is a visually stunning instrument that looks and feels like it has been cherished and played for years.
With its played-in feel and flawless fretwork, this model delivers an exceptional experience right from the moment you pick it up. This bass plays splendidly straight out of the box, with every detail checked and perfected. Experience the epitome of a vintage instrument combined with modern craftsmanship.
High-quality, vintage-style appointments
Every aspect has been carefully considered to deliver an instrument that not only looks stunning but performs flawlessly. Vintage-style tuning machines, a bone nut, and a disc string tree are just some of the authentic retro touches that add to the bass's period-correct appeal. These details not only enhance its visual charm but also ensure rock-solid tuning stability and precise string tension.
But this Custom Shop is more than just a collection of beautiful components. It's a work of art that comes alive in your hands, producing rich and soulful tones that captivate both you and your audience. This is the magic of a truly iconic bass, painstakingly re-created for modern players who appreciate the artistry and history behind it.
