Fender Custom Shop 1960 Precision Bass #CZ590976 - relic british racing green

Based on a "1959 Precision Bass Base Model," this FENDER Custom Shop 1960 Precision Bass Relic #CZ590976 (9238015163) is a flawless reproduction of an iconic instrument—undoubtedly the bass most frequently recorded on countless legendary albums.
It is crafted from hand-selected woods (two-piece alder body, maple neck & AAA rosewood fingerboard, “60’s Oval C” neck profile) and features a vintage-style pickup and hardware, which are just as authentic sonically as they are visually.
Sold with a Fender Custom Shop hardshell case and certificate of authenticity.

The Fender Telecaster, Stratocaster, Jazzmaster, Jaguar, Precision Bass, and Jazz Bass are legendary electric guitars and basses that have played a major role in the popularization and rise of amplified music.
Ideally, one would be the proud owner of an original model from the ’50s, ’60s, or ’70s, but the prices of vintage instruments are so high that they’re out of reach for most people. The Custom Shop Time Machine series bridges the gap between vintage instruments and current production models.

Regarding the Relic finish: dealers at NAMM 1995 were completely blown away by the level of realism in the first two Relic models that Fender presented to them that year. Although they were connoisseurs of vintage instruments, they mistook them for authentic original Fenders (they were a ’51 Nocaster and a ’56 Mary Kaye Stratocaster).
The accelerated aging process is now fully mastered and accounts for the bulk of Custom Shop sales.
