Fender Custom Shop

The Fender Custom Shop is known worldwide for creating "dream instruments" - hence why it's called the Dream Factory.  We feel that this particular bass that we just received is a perfect demonstration of why that is.  

The one-of-a-kind Artisan Spalted Maple Postmodern Bass meets world-class expectations in feel and sound from the Fender Custom Shop. Stirringly crafted, the Artisan Spalted Maple Postmodern Bass brandishes a roasted alder body and a spalted maple top that commands an awe-inspiring aesthetic with remarkable resonance. Complete with a quartersawn roasted maple neck and a round-lam rosewood fingerboard, you have an exquisite blend of tone woods that turns heads and sonically excites.

We will now pause for you to take a moment to view the photos and absorb the beauty of the wood on this instrument.

Additional highlights include 9.5”-16” compound-radius fingerboard, 6105 frets, hand-wound Custom Shop ’62 P Bass® split-coil pickup, gold anodized pickguard, RSD bass bridge, Fender deluxe tuning machines, bone nut and wing string tree. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity.

The bass plays amazing well - it's smooth, and of course sounds great, providing the classic P bass sound thanks to it's vintage-spec pickup.  The modernized neck (flatter compound radius, narrow tall frets) adds a great playability, and the high mass bridge supplies improved sustain and tone.  So, you get a classic sound, enhanced with modern features, and of course an amazing aesthetic.

We love Fender basses here, especially Custom Shop ones, and this Postmodern P Bass is one of the coolest that we've had.  Come to Truetone Music to try it out today, or order right here to be shipped straight to your home.
