Alder may not normally be known for its upper register, but that A+ wasn’t for nothing. Opting for maple in the neck does wonders to the P Bass’s sonic profile. This tonewood’s tight bass boasts phenomenal, balanced projection, with excellent note separation, remaining bright across all four strings without sounding tinny. Its natural light weight is welcomed in a bass, in addition to being very forgiving with changing climates. The rosewood fingerboard employs period-precise construction, coupling well with the maple neck to deliver rich, glassy tones and distinct articulation while allowing you to focus on this well-rounded aural offering.Time-honored tones As the old adage goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Fender’s P Bass design has endured for the better part of a century for good reason, and this ’64 is brimming with character. The maple neck is quarter-sawn, ensuring stability and consistent tone, with a lacquer finish to embolden the 1960s-style oval "C" neck profile. The rosewood fingerboard features a 7.25-inch radius, topped with 20 medium-jumbo frets and is ready to rock. Vintage-style tuning machines and disk string tree take the strings from the Strat-style headstock through a bone nut, past the chrome covers, and down to the historic bridge. With its individual threaded saddles, intonation and height adjustment are a breeze.Fender comes alive Vintage panache colors the electronics of this bass, precision-designed to reflect their heritage in quality as much as aesthetics. The Custom Shop’s hand-wound ’62 Precision Bass split-coil pickup rocks a thundering low-end thump, delivering a robust lower register that refuses to quit. Dial it back or crank it out with the volume and tone controls, comfortably situated atop a 4-ply brown shell pickguard, housing vintage wiring so exquisitely replicated you’d keep any historian guessing.Fender Custom Shop Time Machine ’64 Precision Bass Relic Features: 2-piece select alder body provides a rich, balanced response with a gentle boost to your midrange Ultra-stable quarter-sawn maple, shaped into a slightly chunky ’60s oval “C” profile Round-lam rosewood fingerboard in a vintage-correct 7.25-inch radius, finished off with 20 modern medium-jumbo frets Custom Shop hand-wound ’62 P Bass Split-coil pickup supplies a warm, rich, and midrange-focused thump that naturally slides into any mix Vintage-correct 4-saddle bridge and tuning machines Packed with old-school Fender features, including bridge and pickup covers, a pickguard-mounted thumb rest, a disc string tree, and a 4-ply tort pickguard Masterfully aged Fender Custom Shop Relic nitrocellulose lacquer finish SpecificationDetail Number of Strings 4 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Shape Precision Body Material Alder Body Finish Nitrocellulose Lacquer Color Bleached 3-Color Sunburst Neck Material Quartersawn Maple Neck Shape '60s Oval C Neck Joint Bolt-on Radius 7.25" Fingerboard Material Laminated Rosewood Fingerboard Inlay Vintage Clay Dot Number of Frets 20, Medium Jumbo Scale Length 34" Nut Width 1.75" Nut Material Bone Bridge/Tailpiece 4-Saddle Vintage-Style Tuners Fender vintage-style Middle Pickup Fender Custom Shop Hand-Wound '62 Split Single-Coil Controls 1 x volume, 1 x tone Strings Fender 7250M, .045-.105 Case Included Hardshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
