The 1966 Jazz Bass Journeyman Relic captures the essence of a mid-60s classic, delivering vintage-correct tone and feel with modern reliability. The lightweight, resonant two-piece select alder body wears a carefully aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish, replicating years of careful use without excessive wear. The quartersawn maple neck features a period-correct profile and nitrocellulose lacquer finish, paired with a premium 3A rosewood fingerboard with white pearloid block position inlays. Twenty vintage-style frets provide the classic Jazz Bass playing experience, while the 1.5 inch bone nut offers comfortable playability for modern bassists. Other premium features include a 60 J-Bass 'U' Back Shape, 7.25 inch Radius, 4-ply Tortoiseshell Pickguard, 4-Saddle Vintage-Style Bridge, Vintage-Style Tuning Machines, Vintage-Style Disc String Tree, and Certificate of Authenticity.
