Jazz Bass from Fender with 3-Color Sunburst nitrocellulose finish
The Fender 1964 Jazz Bass Heavy Relic RW 3-Color Sunburst from the FenderCustom store in Corona, California represents the classic Jazz Bass as it was built in its last year of the famous 'Pre-CBS' era. To achieve this, Fender relies on materials and production methods that were familiar at the time, giving the reissue model the proven feel and classic sound of the mid-sixties J-Bass. For the authentic look of a well-played original, the 3-color sunburst nitrocellulose finish was subjected to a heavy-relic treatment for detailed wear marks in the typical areas. including FenderDeluxe Hardshell Case and certificate of authenticity!
With an authentic neck profile, true-to-original pickups and an attractive heavy-relic finish, the Fender 1964 Jazz Bass Heavy Relic RW 3-Color Sunburst offers an incomparable sixties feeling.
Selected alder & quarter sawn maple
The classic construction of the Jazz Bass naturally includes the unbeatable wood combination of alder and maple, which gives it its crisp Attack and balanced sound. The alder body is made in two parts, while the neck is made of radially sawn maple (quarter-sawn maple) with vertical growth rings for particularly long-lasting stability. The back features the classic '60s Jazz Bass 'U' shape and proves to be a particularly comfortable profile to play, which will be particularly familiar to connoisseurs of classic Fender instruments.
Hand-wound Custom Shop Jazz Bass single coils
It goes without saying that the Fender 1964 Jazz Bass Heavy Relic RW 3-Color Sunburst has two Custom Shop Jazz Bass single coils, which give it its well-known enormous variety of sounds. The two hand-wound single coils ensure a clearly defined sound with a particularly direct response and sharply defined basses that are guaranteed to assert themselves skillfully in any Mix. The wiring is completely passive and offers two separate volume controls for individual control of both pickups, while the tone control acts as a common treble control.
