Vintage appointments, modern playability
How’d the Fender Custom Shop get the P Bass Journeyman Relic to shine in looks and tone? This bass may look retro, but it’s outfitted with top-of-the-line Custom Shop appointments that assist in resonance, intonation, and playability. To start, its “U”-shaped quarter-sawn maple neck with bolt-on joint makes it incredibly strong for years of heavy gigging. Next, the rosewood fingerboard, bound with striking white, flaunts 20 medium-jumbo nickel frets and a 7.25-inch radius that’ll keep your hands churning out grooves all night. Plus, aspects like the HiMass bridge, Lollipop tuning machines, and a bone nut keep this P Bass looking smart while contributing to enhanced intonation and tuning stability. To top it all off, the Fender Custom Shop finished this bass with a Journeyman relic’d appearance to give it the feel and look of an old friend.
