Traditional construction

Under the artificially aged nitrocellulose lacquer of the Fender Custom Shop 1959 Relic Precision Bass hides a traditionally built electric bass. For example, the body is joined from two parts of particularly light alder, while the maple neck is fastened with the screw connection established by Leo Fender at the beginning of the 1950s. With its strong "Oval C" profile, the neck offers a pleasant grip even with a powerful playing style, so that between the 20 frets of the rosewood fingerboard, any groove can be easily played.
