Vintage J-Bass vibes

Offering solid articulation and powerful voicing, this pairing will bring out the best in your licks – no matter what style you're playing. Your notes will stand out and be heard without fail. And they'll chime through the mix like a bell.
The bridge J-Bass pickup is tight and punchy - something which made the Jazz Bass of the '60s so popular. It will project your notes with sharp clarity and precision. The J-Bass Lead in the neck offers a world of different tones for you to explore. Rich and creamy, it smoothens out your notes and makes them sing with warmth. Working in complete harmony, these pickups will invigorate your music.
Pure maple magic
Quartersawn for premium quality. The maple neck on this bass offers exceptional playability. Smooth, sweet, and custom made, it gives you the ability to craft your basslines with style and flair. Whether you're holding down a tight rhythm or shredding your way across the fretboard, this neck will maximise your capabilities. And it's got a nitro lacquer finish for exceptional feel and fluid manoeuvrability. You'll feel totally at home playing it.
Your rosewood journey
Perfectly pristine. Warmth and richness erupt from this rosewood fretboard. It boasts luscious feel and exceptional sustain for an unbelievable response to your playing. This blends perfectly with the bright resonance of the maple neck, and helps to give this bass a beautifully well-balanced tone. Your fingers will glide along its surface.
The road-worn look
Reliced and ready to go. The master crafters at Fender's factory have used their artistic eyes to give this bass a heavily road-worn look and feel. Along with the beautiful finish, this lets you add a new dimension to your aesthetics. It feels as if it were made in the '60s. But, don't be fooled by the looks, though - the professional grade hardware is in pristine condition and contributes towards the seamless performance of the Custom Shop 1960 Bass. This is a bass that means business, and it will take you on a powerful musical journey.
