The Fender Custom Shop 1961 Jazz Bass Reissue Heavy Relic in Shell Pink is a stunning blend of vintage soul and Custom Shop craftsmanship. With its super faded, heavily relic’d lacquer finish, this bass looks like it’s spent decades on the road, exuding worn-in vibe and undeniable stage presence. The 2-piece alder body, classic ’64 Jazz Bass shape, and 4-ply tortoise pickguard create an unmistakable aesthetic that’s equal parts cool and collectible.
Underneath the finish, this bass is built to perform. It features a quarter-sawn maple neck with a flat-laminated AAA rosewood fretboard, 7.25" vintage radius, and a '60s “U” profile that feels substantial yet fast. Hand-wound vintage-style Jazz Bass pickups in the neck and bridge positions deliver warm lows, articulate mids, and punchy clarity, all controlled via stacked concentric knobs for that signature early ’60s Jazz Bass versatility. With period-correct hardware, vintage clay dot inlays, and a bone nut, this Shell Pink beauty isn’t just a reissue—it’s a road-worn relic built for serious tone and timeless style.
