About Fender Custom Shop Jazz Bass

Fender Custom Shop Jazz Bass guitars are Fender’s highest end versions of their iconic Jazz Bass design. Each Custom Shop Jazz Bass is handmade by the Custom Shop team in California, to a higher level of detail and precision than standard USA Fender instruments. These offset basses have been played by some of history’s most prolific bassists. You will find authentic replicas of vintage 60s models, including top shelf hardware, woods, electronics, and varying levels of the famous “relic” finishes. Every Fender Custom Shop Jazz Bass is made to be one of a kind, giving you a truly unique fender experience. 

Nothing makes heads turn like a Fender Custom Shop Jazz Bass. The sheer size of it demands attention: big slabs of chrome hardware and stunning relic’d finishes on its offset contours. The Custom Shop Jazz Bass will elevate any performance - making them ideal for studio use and live performance. We’ve seen a huge number of Fender Custom Shop Jazz Basses pass through our doors over the years from the vintage to the modern, sensible to the madcap. They have all been stunningly crafted and miraculously consistent. It is also possible to order any custom spec for sensational one-off Custom Shop Jazz Basses.

The Fender Custom Shop excels in creating authentic feeling replicas of original 60s Jazz Basses. They are battered and bruised but full of mojo. Handwound pickups capture the thump and snarl of those early basses. Premium tonewoods ensure a resonant and lively sound. The Fender Custom Shop also makes a Jaco Pastorius Tribute Jazz Bass which is a faithful reproduction of the bass master’s famously distressed fretless bass.

Our Fender Custom Shop Jazz Bass guitars come included with a guitar hard case.
