ASH SLAB BODY
A unique touch, this ash slab body features vintage radii—a classic touch from the original era of Fender.
LACQUER FINISH
The nitrocellulose lacquer finish lets the body breathe with its true tonal character and also ages and wears in a distinctively personal way.
AMERICAN VINTAGE “ ’63 P BASS” PROFILE
A blast from the past, the ’63 P Bass profile is ideal for funky, thumb-over playing and the 9.5”-radius fingerboard makes for fast, low action.
CUSTOM SHOP PICKUPS
This Custom Shop PJ pickup combination gives you the best of both worlds—a growling Jazz Bass bridge pickup and seismic P Bass middle pickup.
HIMASS VINTAGE BRIDGE
This strings-thru-body bridge has a lot of metal, which means it has a lot of mass for rock-solid sustain, intonation and tuning stability.
CONCENTRIC VOLUME CONTROLS
In a classic touch from the ‘60s, these volume controls are “stacked” concentrically, placing both volume controls on one potentiometer.
