View Full DescriptionImmense playability
Performance in mind. Fender have painstakingly designed this bass guitar from top to bottom to ensure it is the ultimate stage instrument. Top of their list was making it superbly playable. If you've got a bass that is intuitive and enjoyable to play, then you can focus entirely on your creativity and performance.
That's what you get with the Journeyman Relic Postmodern. You'll be able to slide up and down the guitar's neck with ease and comfort. Fender have used the neck from their classic, extremely playable 1960 Jazz Bass. The quartersawn maple neck has a "U"-shaped profile, which fits perfectly in the palm of your hand. This eliminates cramp, and allows you to play even the most difficult notes with ease. The ideal bass for even the most complex of songs.
Thunderous sound
Unlimited sonic possibilities. You'll never have to restrain your bass playing again. A hand-wound '62 Precision Bass pickup ensures your playing has a classic, booming Fender bass sound. Every note you play will sound defined and sharp in any mix.
The pickup's immense power also means that you'll be able to deliver your basslines with thumping, punchy quality. Every song you play will sound gigantic. The ultimate electronic system to give you full, electrifying sound in venues of any size.
Incredible vintage style
Stand out from the crowd. The Fender Postmodern Bass has an amazing vintage aesthetic. An instrument that truly looks like a relic from a golden age of music, the guitar's delicately aged, worn appearance gives it the style of a time-served, heritage instrument. A luxurious desert tan finish is contrasted by an ornate, 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard. Hardware finished in nickel and chrome give an extra metallic shine to a bass that is entirely stylish.
Exquisitely balanced tones
A bass guitar body to ensure your playing sounds amazing at any frequency. A body made from select alder in two pieces is ideal for ensuring your tones are always crisp and sharp. Alder as a tonewood is one of the most popular choices for bass guitar bodies. It is an incredibly versatile wood that delivers stunning clarity, a wide-reaching range, and completely full-bodied tone. Ideal for both meaty, growling, low-end basslines and higher-pitched soloing.
Furthermore, Fender have ensured only the most lightweight alder wood is used in the Journeyman Relic Bass' construction. This means that you'll be able to play on all night long with this bass around your neck. The lighter profile reduces strain and makes the overall playing experience a complete joy.
Postmodern series craftsmanship
A bass guitar that's designed to be the best. With their Postmodern series, Fender have not chosen to look at a particular era or model to be inspired by. Instead, they're striving to use their illustrious, decades-long history of guitar manufacturing to create the best possible instruments in their individual areas.
With the Journeyman Relic Postmodern Bass, Fender have put their efforts into creating the greatest live bass ever. They've looked over the many bass guitars they've released in the past, and handpicked all their most brilliant qualities to craft this sensational new instrument. The result is astonishing. You'll have every desirable bass guitar quality possible, from fullness in sound, to immense playability, to unlimited access to the neck's highest frets, to perfect tuning courtesy of a strong bone nut, and much, much more. You simply have to play one to understand how good this bass is.
