captures many of the characteristics players associate with an early-to-mid-1960s Jazz Bass. Fender’s current Custom Shop 1964 base model continues to use alder, a ’60 “U” neck and 7.25\" rosewood fingerboard specification. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSlim 1.5\" Nut Width\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the defining ergonomic differences between a Jazz Bass and Precision Bass is the narrower Jazz Bass neck at the nut. Fender identifies roughly 38mm \/ 1.5\" as the characteristic Jazz Bass dimension, giving the lower fretboard a compact feel. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e7.25\" Vintage Radius\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe curved 7.25\" fingerboard radius gives the bass a distinctly vintage Fender feel, particularly for fretting traditional bass lines and working across the lower and middle areas of the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNitrocellulose Relic Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nitrocellulose lacquer and factory ageing are central to the Custom Shop Relic concept, giving the instrument an already played-in appearance rather than the pristine presentation of a modern gloss bass.

Fender identifies this dual-pickup format as one of the major innovations that separated the Jazz Bass from the Precision when it appeared in 1960. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eComparison Against Popular Alternatives\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFender Custom Shop ’64 Jazz Bass vs American Vintage II Jazz Bass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn American Vintage II offers Fender’s production-line vintage approach, while the Custom Shop model is aimed at buyers who value greater attention to vintage-style detailing, hand finishing and a deliberately aged Relic presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFender Custom Shop ’64 Jazz Bass vs Fender Custom Shop Precision Bass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Precision Bass provides the direct punch and simplicity of a single split-coil design, while the Jazz Bass offers a narrower neck and two-pickup layout for greater tonal blending and a more focused bridge-pickup character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFender Custom Shop ’64 Jazz Bass vs Modern American Jazz Bass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA modern Jazz Bass may offer a flatter fingerboard, larger frets and contemporary neck shaping.

The rounder vintage radius works particularly well for traditional fingerstyle, pick playing and supportive bass lines. Players accustomed to much flatter modern boards may notice the difference initially.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the benefit of a nitrocellulose finish?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this Custom Shop model, nitrocellulose lacquer is primarily part of the vintage-inspired construction and ageing approach. It also allows Fender’s Relic treatment to reproduce checking and wear associated with older instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Relic wear considered damage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The factory-applied ageing is an intentional part of the instrument’s original specification. Any individual Pre-Owned wear needs to be considered separately from the factory Relic treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this Jazz Bass be used with pedals and modern amp modellers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Its passive output works with conventional bass amplifiers, pedalboards, DI boxes, multi-effects processors, amp modellers and recording interfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a good bass for recording?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The ability to blend the two pickups makes the Jazz Bass particularly useful for adjusting attack and midrange character to suit different arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I request a closer look before purchasing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Our \u003cstrong\u003eRequest a Video Demo\u003c\/strong\u003e option is particularly useful for a Custom Shop Relic bass because it allows you to examine the ageing, finish and overall individual condition more closely before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"USED","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57311740658044,"sku":"Fender Custom Shop ’64 Jazz Bass Relic RW 3-Color Sunburst, (Used)","price":2799.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/6457\/9484\/files\/DSC09708_5370adcc-705a-4dc1-b0d9-8e76b56ec8f5.jpg?v=1786975543","url":"https:\/\/www.fairdealmusic.co.uk\/products\/fender-custom-shop-64-jazz-bass-relic-rw-3-color-sunburst-used","provider":"Fair Deal Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
