Frequently Asked Questions

The finish itself doesn’t impact sound; it's purely cosmetic. However, the thinner relic’d finish can sometimes feel slightly smoother under your hand.
Fender's Custom Shop aims for accurate recreation. These pickups capture the tonal nuances of early '60s Jazz Bass pickups – a blend of clarity and warmth.
Bolt-on necks generally offer a snappier attack and slightly less sustain than a set neck, which contributes to the classic J-Bass character.
