Overview

A wonderful recreation for left-handed players of Fender's classic bass.

The 1964 Fender Jazz Bass is appreciated for its warm, engaging swing in the neck position and its throaty, present definition in the bridge position. This 2018 NAMM Limited Edition Lefty 1964 Journeyman Relic Jazz Bass Electric Guitar is a faithful replication that captures both of those voices perfectly, and does so in an instrument that invokes the spirit of the innovators who first explored the potential vocabulary of the Jazz Bass, and even the mysteries of time itself.

The sculpted alder body, the nitrocellulose lacquer finish, the vintage bridge with ashtray pickup cover complete with the large "F" logo, all combine to create the extraordinary feel of this great bass guitar. The relic treatment adds the finishing touch in vaulting across the decades with this beautiful bass.

Additional details include the iconic neck pickup cover, the slender neck and comfortable "U" neck shape, a medium tinted quartersawn maple neck and round lam rosewood fretboard, and a four-ply tortoise pickguard. The electronics are likewise faithful to the original, with two full-size volume knobs and the smaller tone knob. It's a masterpiece, truly an elegant instrument. Includes hardshell case.
