The Fender Custom Shop '65 Relic Bass is a shining example of FCS's ability to combine vintage-inspired aesthetics with modern precision and functionality.
The body of this FCS gem is fashioned from 2-Piece alder that's sorted for weight, ensuring this instrument is as light as it can be. Its body shape is based on the '59 Precision Bass, a pivotal model that represents the earliest years of the modern electric bass guitar design.
The neck, crafted from quarter sawn maple, features a '60 P-Bass Oval "C" profile, designed to replicate the hand-carved necks of original '60s P-Basses. This profile offers a balance of comfort and stability, fitting snugly in the player's palm. The fingerboard, made from AAA Rosewood, is sorted for color and boasts a 7.25" radius and Micarta White inlays spaced widely at .250". The neck also features 20 Vintage Upgrade-sized frets, a slightly taller Vintage-style fret that's suited for a bass' thicker strings.
In the electronics department, the Fender Custom Shop '65 Bass Relic features a single Handwired 65-70 P-Bass Relic pickup at the bridge. This pickup is a product of Fender's dedication to vintage-inspired tone, delivering a soft, mellow low end that recreates the essence of classic bass sounds, hand-wired in the Fender Custom Shop.
Among the many stunning features of this P, its relic'd Vintage White lacquer finish sets it apart. A hallmark of the Fender Custom Shop, the Relic treatment gives the instrument an authentic charm, resembling the character of a bass that's been "used, but not abused", and slightly less worn than its "Heavy Relic" treated counterparts. Small traces of wear expose small portions of the alder under the finish, following the contours of the body. The back of the body also highlights horizontal checking in the finish, adding a further touch of storied aesthetic. Adding even more to the vintage-inspired aesthetic are chrome-plated ashtray-style pickup and bridge covers. The hardware, including Vintage Bass Nickel Relic tuning machines, a P/J-Bass RH/LH Relic bridge, and knurled chrome relic knobs, further enhances the overall vintage vibe.
The Fender Custom Shop '65 Bass Relic comes complete with a Vintage Relic neck plate, a 4-Bolt neck joint for stability, and a 1.750" bone nut for precise tuning. The bass is presented in a Fender Custom Shop Tweed case, ensuring its safety and adding a touch of sophistication to the overall Custom Shop package.
