New for 2024, the Fender Custom Shop is introducing the 1958 Precision Bass® Relic®. After nearly seven decades since its original release, this pivotal transition model is widely celebrated. With all the classic specifications from a mid-to-late-‘50s P-Bass®, this instrument feels like it was played at countless gigs—marred with spidery finish checking, oxidized hardware and dings, dents and scars. The two-piece select alder body (ash on Sunburst) and one-piece quartersawn maple neck are dressed in a Relic® lacquer finish—available in three period-correct colors: Aged Desert Sand, Aged Sonic Blue and Super Faded Aged Chocolate Three-Color Sunburst. To round out the iconic, golden era features, the gold anodized pickguard is loaded with a Custom Shop hand-wound ’57 P-Bass® pickup and vintage wiring. Other premium features include ’57-style Soft “V” back-shape, 7.25″ radius, 20 medium jumbo (6150) frets, vintage-style 4-saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, disc string tree, deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
