A Mojo-Soaked Classic
Straight from the Fender Custom Shop, this 2024 ’61 Jazz Bass is a stone-cold stunner that feels like it’s seen a thousand smoky stages. This isn’t just a bass; it’s a time machine. From the moment you pick it up, the Heavy Relic Super Faded Aged Daphne Blue finish tells a story. The checking, dings, and worn-through spots aren’t just for show, they contribute to a broken-in feel that you can’t get from a factory-fresh instrument. It’s got the resonance and vibe of a true vintage piece, but with the flawless playability of a modern Custom Shop build.
Timeless Tone and Feel
Under the hood, this J-Bass is pure 1961. The Hand-Wound Vintage Jazz Bass pickups deliver the goods, serving up that iconic midrange growl and punchy articulation that defined the sound of funk, soul, and rock. The bridge pickup has that signature bark, while the neck pickup offers round, warm tones that sit perfectly in a mix. The stacked concentric knobs give you independent volume and tone control for each pickup, unlocking a massive palette of sonic textures to explore. The quartersawn maple neck with its comfortable ’60 Jazz Bass “U” profile and AAA rosewood fingerboard feels instantly familiar, like an old friend.
Built for the Player
Every detail here is crafted for performance. The alder body is lightweight and resonant, the vintage-style hardware is period-correct and road-ready, and the bone nut ensures sustain for days. This bass isn’t just about looking the part. It’s a serious workhorse, ready for the studio, the stage, or wherever the music takes you. It’s in mint condition and comes with its original hardshell case, ready for its next chapter.
