From the deep past comes a sonorous sound the world couldn't forget.
Some instruments are sought after because a famous musician played them. Others achieve notoriety based on their own inimitable qualities — the subtle combination of tone, feel, and looks that grabs hold of a player and won't let go. The Fender '64 Jazz Bass Relic is famous for both reasons. It's been seen on every size of stage in the hands of half the world's most famous bassists. Now you don't have to invest years searching for — and a fortune buying — this hoary hero. Fender's Custom Shop has created a bass that looks precisely like the one you'd find in the back of a hock shop in the bad part of Montgomery. It's got the same alder body, round rosewood fingerboard, maple neck, brown shell pickguard, and straight pickups as the original, plus all the road rash, sweat rust, and elbow wear it would've picked up if it had been being played hard all these years. The new frets and fretboard are the only way you'll be able to tell it from the real thing.
