The Fender Custom Shop Limited 1966 Jazz Bass Journeyman Relic in Aged Candy Apple Red with matching headstock recreates mid‑’60s Jazz Bass appointments with period dimensions and artisan distressing. The Journeyman Relic finish simulates decades of wear—subtle lacquer checking, edge wear and aged hardware plating—while leaving the instrument structurally sound. The neck is carved to a '60 Jazz Bass "U" profile and fitted with an AAA rosewood fingerboard, delivering the full, rounded feel associated with early‑’60s Jazz Basses and a vintage touch under the fretting hand.
Electronics are handwired and populated with handwound Vintage Jazz Bass relic single‑coil pickups (neck and bridge) voiced for the clear, focused midrange and defined high end that make Jazz Basses articulate in a band mix. The instrument is built to Custom Shop standards with a 34" scale, bolt‑on roasted or treated maple neck options commonly available on these builds, vintage‑style controls and aged hardware to match the Journeyman treatment—balancing vintage tone and feel with modern setup reliability.
