Fender Custom Shop 1966 Precision Bass Journeyman Relic Super Faded Aged Lake Placid Blue (783)

New for 2024, the Fender Custom Shop introduces the 1966 Precision Bass® Journeyman Relic®. Few instruments are as iconic as a 1960s rosewood fingerboard-equipped P-Bass®--and this bass stands out from the crowd.

Its two-piece select alder body wears a Journeyman Relic® lacquer finish in Super Faded Aged Lake Placid Blue, Aged Natural and Three-Color Sunburst, while the quartersawn maple neck features a 1960 Oval “C” back-shape and round-laminated rosewood fingerboard for perfect mid-‘60s looks and feel. The Custom Shop hand-wound ‘65/’70 P-Bass® pickup and vintage wiring provide all the thump and warmth you would expect from a 1966 Precision Bass®.

Other premium features include 7.25" radius, 20 medium jumbo (6150) frets, 4-ply brown shell pickguard (3-ply parchment on Lake Placid Blue), vintage-style 4-saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, disc string tree, deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
