Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition ’58 Precision Bass Relic, Aged Black Over Chocolate 3-color Sunburst
The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition ’58 Precision Bass Relic embodies the rich history of Fender’s contribution to bass innovation while incorporating features demanded by modern bassists. Paying tribute to the revolutionary Precision Bass models of 1958, this bass guitar is the quintessence of quality craftsmanship and stellar performance synonymous with the Fender Custom Shop.
Expertly crafted with a 2-piece alder body, the ’58 P-Bass yields a balanced, resonant tone with noticeable sustain. The body shape, modelled after the ’59 P-Bass, gives the instrument a vintage appeal and that timeless, classic Fender look.
The quarter-sawn maple neck features an unfinished back for a natural, smooth playing feel and is carved to a ’57 Bass Soft “V” profile, providing a comfortable grip. The maple fingerboard, with a radius of 9.50″, and 20 6105/narrow tall frets, offers a familiar feel with easy playability across all registers.
This P-Bass comes equipped with a hand-wound ’57 P-Bass pickup with relic’d cover for plenty of vintage flair. Simple yet effective, the Master Tone and Master Volume controls allow for an array of tonal adjustments.
The finish is a unique Black Over Chocolate 3-Color Sunburst, presenting a tastefully aged aesthetic that hints at gigs and owners of yore. The vintage-style bass tuning machines and P/J bass bridge, both relic’d, contribute to the vintage appeal of the instrument.
The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition ’58 Precision Bass Relic is a testament to Fender’s heritage. Its exceptional craftsmanship, authentic vintage aesthetics, and smooth playability make it a crowning jewel in any bass collection, further accentuating the legacy of the Fender Custom Shop.
