Fender Custom Shop ’66 Jazz Bass Journeyman, Aged Burgundy Mist w/ Matching Painted Headcap Fender Custom Shop

Sleek is the name of the game when it comes to this Fender Custom Shop ’66 Jazz Bass Journeyman, from it’s beautiful finish to its matching painted headcap.

The body of this ’66 Jazz Bass features the iconic ’66 Jazz Bass body shape, with sleek contours and comfortable feel offered by its waist contour. With two deep cutaways, the body is made from 2-pieces of alder, carefully sorted by the FCS for their weight. The body is topped with a ’64 J-Bass 4 Ply Tortoiseshell Relic pickguard.

Complementing the body is a neck crafted from 1/4 Sawn Maple boasting a ’60 J-Bass “U” profile, and topped with a round lam, AAA rosewood fingerboard, also sorted, but this time for dark color. The fingerboard offers a radius of 9.5″, and is topped with 20 Medium Jumbo frets, and Special Block inlays. At the top of the neck, this J-Bass features a headstock with a finish that matches that of its body. 

However, the heart of this Fender Custom Shop ’66 Jazz Bass lies in its pickups. Equipped with FCS Handwired Vintage J-Bass Relic pickups, this bass delivers the iconic tone that has defined the J-Bass for decades. With volume and tone controls, players have the flexibility to sculpt their desired sound with precise control over each pickup.

In the hardware department, a relic’d P/J Bass bridge and Oval J-Bass tuning machines featuring the Fender logo add a touch of contrast to the finish, all slightly relic’d to match the appearance of the rest of this instrument. 

This bass comes with a Fender Custom Shop hard case.
