Journeyman Relic Custom Shop Electric Bass

This Custom edition of the '68 Jazz Bass with Journeyman Relic finish, Quarter Sawn Maple solid neck and Candy Apple Red finish combines classic Fender elements for a 4-string E-Bass with invitingly authentic Jazz Bass feel thanks to traditional construction and dimensions. Two hand-wound Jazz Bass pickups sit in the middle and bridge positions and are protected by chrome covers. Furthermore, there is a tug bar diagonally below the G-string, which provides for especially varied playing fun even with thumb techniques à la Monk Montgomery.

Hardware and pickup equipment

The Fender Custom Shop '68 Jazz Bass Journeyman MN Aged Candy Apple Red is equipped with two Fender Handwound Jazz Bass pickups, which deliver the expressive J-bass sounds with vintage character on the amplifier. This Fender sound of the single-coil pickups can be adjusted via two volume knobs and one Master Tone knob each. For rich Sustain and stability, the 4-string '68 J-Bass is equipped with a Fender vintage hardtail bridge and matching vintage tuning tuners.

Chrome Cover and Tug-Bar

The famous chrome bridge and pickup covers were designed by Leo Fender as a homage to the elegant hubcaps of the fifties and lap steel guitars to round out his instruments. Over the years, the bridge cover with Fender "F" engraving was also called the "Ashtray" cover due to its misappropriation. On the Fender Custom Shop '68 Jazz Bass Journeyman MN Aged Candy Apple Red, these covers with a black tug bar offer an absolutely comfortable combination that promises optimal jazz bass playing characteristics. A trend in terms of appearance and playing characteristics, which has been picked up again in recent years and can now be seen again in the hands of bassist:inside worldwide.
