Custom Shop P-Bass Punch With Vintage 64 Attitude
This Fender Custom Shop 1964 Precision Bass Relic is what happens when you take the most recorded bass sound of all time and build it with Custom Shop precision. It has that classic alder and rosewood recipe, the right neck carve, and a hand-wound pickup that gives you the thump, bloom, and grind you hear on your favorite records.
Real talk, this one feels like it has already spent decades in smoky clubs and on studio dates. The relic work, the unfinished neck back, the clay dots, the tort guard, the chrome covers and that Aged Lake Placid Blue all add up to a bass that looks, feels, and sounds like the real 60s deal the second you plug in.
Alder Body And Aged Lake Placid Blue Mojo
The 2-piece alder body gives you that classic Precision recipe for tight low end, punchy mids, and just enough top end to cut without ever getting harsh. It is the sound of Motown, rock, worship, and soul in one simple package.
The Aged Lake Placid Blue relic finish is pure vibe. It looks like a bass that has been played hard but cared for, with wear in all the right spots so you are never afraid to take it to the gig. On stage it pops under lights, in the studio it just disappears behind your hands so you can focus on the music.
Quartersawn Maple Neck With Worn-In Feel
The quartersawn maple neck is built for stability and resonance. The 60 P-Bass Oval C profile, with a .790 inch depth at the first fret and .990 inch at the 12th, hits that sweet spot between fast and substantial so you always feel connected to the note.
The back of the neck is left unfinished with a relic treatment, so it feels broken in from day one. No sticky gloss to fight, just a smooth, played-in feel that lets your hand glide whether you are laying down laid-back fingerstyle lines or digging in with a pick.
Hand-Wound 62 Pickup: The Sound Of Records
At the heart of this bass is the hand-wound 62 P-Bass Relic split single-coil. It delivers that classic P-Bass thump with woody low end, chewy low mids, and enough articulation to keep every note clear in the mix.
Roll the tone back and it gets warm and round for soul and worship. Open it up and you get that articulate grind that loves tube amps and overdrive pedals. The chrome bridge and pickup covers add vintage look and also subtly change your right-hand feel and attack options.
Vintage-Correct Details That Make A Difference
The AAA rosewood fingerboard with a 7.25 inch radius and medium jumbo 6150 frets gives you the best of both worlds. It feels like a vintage board under your fingers, but the fret size makes bends, vibrato, and clean intonation feel easy and confident.
Vintage clay dots and side dots keep the look authentic, while the 1.750 inch bone nut gives you rock solid tuning and a clear, singing open string response. The 64 tortoiseshell pickguard, vintage bass nickel relic tuners, and 3rd strap button on the back of the headstock are all the small touches that make this feel like a real 1960s workhorse.
Stage-Ready Setup From Players Who Get It
This bass weighs in at 9.1 pounds (9 pounds 2 ounces), which means it feels solid and authoritative without dragging you down on a long set. It balances beautifully on a strap, and with the P/J Bass relic bridge and vintage tuners, tuning stability is a non-issue.
