feel of a vintage bass that has been thoroughly used, but not abused.  You get finish checking, a few nicks and a beautifu patina.  It looks great with the 3-Tone Sunburst finish, which is complemented by the 4-ply tortoise shell pickguard - giving it the true classic mid-60's vibe.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe roasted quartersawn maple neck has the classic 60's Jazz bass \"U\" profile, topped with a nice, dark rosewood fretboard.  It's a 9.5\" radius, perfect for a fretless, and we included the fret lines.  To further the playability, we had the finish lightly sanded just on the back of the neck.  This gives you a great, smooth feel, making this bass an absolute pleasure to play.  It's very slightly done, not heavily noticeable, but makes a difference.  In our opinion, this is key for a fretless bass.  You want to be able to slide up \u0026amp; down without concerning yourself with getting \"stuck\".  This is one of our favorite things about Custom Shop instruments and how we spec them out - not a crazy amount of wear, but with the back of the neck feeling like a vintage instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo Custom Shop Vintage Jazz single-coil pickups provide a variety of tones, and most importantly, suit a fretless bass perfectly.  These classic pickups produce warm, clear and articulate output, with great low-end definition, up-front midrange punch, and singing high-end.  We figured these would be perfect for this bass, and once it landed and we plugged in, we knew it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bass includes a vintage style Deluxe hardshell case, Custom Shop strap, and Certificate of Authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an amazing looking, sounding and feeling Custom Shop '64 Jazz Fretless.  This is the only one ever made like it.  Come to Truetone Music to check it out, or order it right here right now to get it sent straight to your home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial # R138203\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart# \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Fender Custom Shop 1964 Jazz Bass Fretless Journeyman Relic 3-Tone Sunburst with Case\"}' data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":513,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"12\":0}'\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":3,\"3\":9231015444}' data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":513,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"12\":0}'\u003e9231015444\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish Package: Journeyman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Nitro Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: 3-Tone Sunburst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Tortoise Shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: Custom Shop Vintage J-Bass Rhythm \/ Lead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Ash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Roasted Quartersawn Maple - Medium Tint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Note: Smooth out finish on back of neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard: Rosewood with fret lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: 60 J-Bass \"U\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadius: 9.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Nut Width: 1.500\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 1st Fret: .790\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret: .990\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Butt Width: 2.500\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Custom Shop Deluxe Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e.","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45841559060723,"sku":"08FCS072","price":4750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img8898.jpg?v=1718649183","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/fender-custom-shop-1964-jazz-bass-fretless-journeyman-relic-3-tone-sunburst-with-case","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
