Of particular interest and importance is a rarely found design combination from that year: a maple fingerboard with black block inlays. The two-piece select alder body has a comfortably worn lacquer finish, and the quartersawn maple neck features a ’60s-style “Jazz Bass U” profile, vintage 7.25”-radius quartersawn maple fingerboard and 20 medium jumbo (6150) frets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor the finish package, we went with Journeyman Relic - it has the appearance of a bass that was cared for but played extensively for years.  You'll see finish checking, small dings and scratches, but not anything seriously worn or beat up.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCustom Shop hand-wound vintage Jazz Bass pickups yield compelling and dynamic tones with the classic three-knob Jazz Bass control configuration (middle pickup volume, bridge pickup volume, master tone).
