Description
As soon as you uncase the Fender Custom Shop 1972 Jazz Bass, you'll understand why it's such a rock 'n' roll relic. Its black finish features heavy wear and tear, simulating decades of playtime in clubs and venues. Its bold block inlays give it a traditional appearance reminiscent of Geddy Lee's famous Jazz Bass. But there's more than meets the eye with this axe; it's a phenomenal instrument with a deep, rumblin' voice and a wicked-comfortable feel.
The Custom Shop 1972 Jazz Bass features a 2-piece ash body, giving it a sweet, resonant tone with a bright treble response. Joining the body is a plain grain maple neck with a '75 Jazz Bass profile, which plays with a fast old-school feel. Players will also appreciate this model's narrow-tall frets, genuine bone nut, and Schaller tuners, all of which contribute to its impressive playability.
For a vintage-correct tone, this bass is armed with a pair of '75 Jazz Bass pickups. These single-coils deliver a thunderous sound with deep lows, balanced mids, and spankin' highs. Whether you need burpy Jaco Pastorius bridge pickup tones or a full-throttle rock 'n' roll growl, these pups can cover nearly any classic Jazz Bass sound imaginable.
The Custom Shop 1972 Jazz Bass is a true masterwork, promising a one-of-a-kind playing experience that pays tribute to '70s-era Fender. If you've been searching for a world-class bass that's born for the stage, you can't beat this Custom Shop replica.
