Product Description
Key Features
- Relic Nitro - Expertly aged in a genuinely authentic and tasteful way, this [model] looks like it's been someone's favourite guitar for over 50 years.
- ’60s P Bass Oval C - The perfect middle ground between a modern slim C-shaped neck and a more vintage style shape. It feels comfortable up and down the neck without feeling clumpy.
- Quarter Sawn Maple - Straight-grained and around 50% more stable than a traditional plain-sawn neck.
Fender Custom Shop
The Fender Dream Factory… Fender’s best luthiers, using the best materials and tools all under one roof with the single unified mission of building the best guitars that Fender has ever produced. Founded in 1987 the Custom Shop was established to take Fender’s manufacturing back to its roots with smaller production numbers and higher quality. Famed for pushing Leo's designs to their absolute limits, the Custom Shop is the benchmark to which all other Fender electric guitars are compared to!
Roasted Neck and Body
The already perfect combination of an Ash body and Maple neck but made even better! Roasting the Ash body and Quartersawn Maple neck, in effect, ages and seasons the wood to absolute perfection. All moisture, sugars and sap are roasted away, leaving you with timber which feels like it's been seasoned for 100 years. Perfectly resonant and often more lightweight, this P-Bass is resonant and lively with increased sustain and overtones.
Hand-Wound P-Bass Pickup
This hand-wound Fender Custom Shop vintage-styled P-Bass pickup offers the unmistakable low-end thump, punchy mids and articulate highs that have made the P-Bass the world's most iconic and easily recognised bass! Made using authentic Alnico V magnets in partnership with fibre bobbins and enamel-coated wire this versatile pickup provides the unrivalled versatile bass tone that works perfectly with all playing styles and genres.
