Premium playability

The Fender Custom Shop '62 J Bass Relic is at the pinnacle of the guitar envy scale - and as basses go, it doesn't get much better than this. Experience a premium playability provided by an array of features that will re-define your performance. The neck is designed with a '60s style "J Bass U" profile and finished with a nitrocellulose lacquer, which will allow you to glide up and down the flat-laminated rosewood fingerboard with complete ease. What's more, the 20 medium jumbo frets will help you find the right note at the right time, every time. The alder body is both resonant and lightweight, so you can rock on right through the night with minimal shoulder strain.

Tonal perfection

The Fender Custom Shop '62 J Bass Relic is equipped with two custom shop pickups and premium tonewoods that combine to create a sound quite unlike any other. An alder build body provides a balanced response, featuring tight lows, clear mids and bright highs that are helped on by the quartersawn maple neck. The timber build of this guitar brings a vintage, warm and natural feel to the tonal palette, bringing a rich sound that is full of character and can be moulded to fit your taste. The custom shop vintage jazz bass pickups deliver an unmistakable voice that is based on the vintage bass sounds from the 1960s.

Powerful and responsive, these pickups are over-wound for a punchier mid-range and an all-round red-hot output. An even response across all the strings is guaranteed by the flush-mount magnets, and the alnico 5 magnets provide an enhanced focus. The formvar magnet wire adds a lively brightness to the mix, making for a highly versatile tonal experience that can be tailored to fit. The intuitive concentric control knobs allow you to balance out the sound of the pickups to help you find the sweet spot, inspiring your own unique voice that will evolve with your playing. What's more, these custom shop offerings are built so that they as the tonewoods mature over time, so you will be rewarded with tonal development the more you play.

Built by the best

The Fender Custom Shop '62 J Bass Relic is complete with a 4-saddle vintage-style bridge, which works with the bone nut and metal tuning pegs to retain a consistent tuning as well as a comfortable action over the strings. This means you can say goodbye to having to re-tune between every song, and focus on your performance. A gorgeous 4-ply brown shell pickguard complements the worn black finish of the rest of the body, as well as protecting it from the more intensive jamming sessions for a long-lasting performance that looks great. When you invest in a Fender Custom Shop product, you know that you'll be receiving a premium grade instrument, manufactured with passion and care poured into every element and designed to last a lifetime - and the Fender Custom Shop '62 J Bass Relic is no different.
