Vintage P-Bass Punch With Custom Shop Mojo
If you live for that classic Precision Bass thump that owns the low end, this 1958 Custom Shop P gets you there in about two notes. It feels like a late 50s workhorse that has been on the road for decades, but with the reliability and precision of a brand new build.
Ash Body And Super Faded Chocolate 3-Color Sunburst Relic
The ash body gives you that familiar mix of tight low end, clear mids, and a little extra cut on top so every note speaks. The Super Faded Chocolate 3-Color Sunburst relic finish looks like it has seen real stages and smoky clubs, and the wear is where it should be so it feels broken in, not beat up.
This is not a costume relic. The finish is knocked back so the bass rings acoustically and feels alive in your hands, instead of being smothered in thick gloss.
Quartersawn Maple Neck That Feels Like Home
The quartersawn maple neck and board keep things rock solid and lively under your hands. The 57 Bass Soft V profile, measuring .820 inch at the first fret and .990 inch at the 12th, fills your palm in a really supportive way without ever feeling like a baseball bat.
The 7.25 inch radius and 20 medium jumbo 6150 frets keep it classic under the left hand yet let you dig in for bends and vibrato without fighting the bass. The unfinished NB relic back means no sticky gloss, just a smooth, fast, broken in feel from day one.
Hand Wound 57 P-Bass Pickup For Real 50s Authority
That hand wound 57 P-Bass relic pickup is the voice of this instrument. It delivers the round, woody low end and punchy mids that make a Precision sit perfectly in the mix, with enough articulation to keep complex lines clear without getting clanky.
Roll the tone back and you are in buttery Motown land. Open it up and it hits with that classic rock and country grind that makes front of house engineers smile. Real talk, this is the kind of pickup that makes you want to play less but mean every note.
Vintage Details, Custom Shop Craft
From the 59 P-Bass body style and vintage P-Bass decal to the gold 59 pickguard and relic nickel hardware, every detail is aimed at capturing that late 50s vibe. The 50s bass truss rod, 4 bolt construction, and carefully aged relic treatment are all done by builders who obsess over this stuff as much as you do.
Fender Custom Shop instruments are not just fancy versions of production models. They are built by a small crew of luthiers who tap, listen, and tweak until the instrument feels alive. This P-Bass has that thing where it rings acoustically before you ever plug it in.
