Fender Custom Shop '75 Jazz Bass Guitar Time Capsule, Midnight Purple

Into the dark of the night, we've got this Fender Custom Shop '75 Jazz Bass Time Capsule in a deep Midnight Purple. The Jazz Bass, a veritable icon of Fender, gets a cool, clean, '70s-style getup with this Custom Shop Time Capsule build. A vision of a vintage J Bass in the modern day, this thoroughly-outfitted '70s-style Fender Custom Shop is chock-loaded with sound and style at every level.

Throwing it back to Fender's 1970s, this Fender Custom Shop '75 Jazz Bass features plenty of vintage style with a fresh, clean aesthetic and modern design elements. This starts with a two-piece bass ash body, sorted for weight. A descriptor referring to the body's quality of being selected for its light weight by a Fender Custom Shop builder. This classic Fender tonewood plays with a comfortable weight and a resonant tone – perfect for a round, punchy sound and smooth feel landing right above ten pounds.

In addition to its resonant and punchy tone, the two-piece ash body also serves as an excellent canvas on which a Fender Custom Shop Time Capsule finish treatment is splashed. Time Capsule, the Custom Shop's lowest Relic level creates a gloss lacquer finish untouched by Fender's usual Relic wear and age. Presenting an aesthetic like a brand-new guitar, the Fender Custom Shop's Time Capsule is a welcomed element on this '70s-style piece alongside a matching headstock finish.

From here, this J Bass welcomes a quartersawn maple neck in a '75 J Bass profile. A classically fast and smooth profile, this neck facilitates quick and easy moves from lower to higher registers and back again. The neck measures from .820" thick at the first fret to .970" at the twelfth for an effortless feel in hand. Matching its easy playing feel, a bound round lam AAA rosewood fingerboard lands with this neck with white pearloid block inlays. Twenty Fender American Standard frets play with precision across a rounder, retro-style 7.25" fingerboard radius.

Sonically, this Time Capsule Custom Shop punches in with two handwound '75 J Bass single-coil pickups. Playing with the kind of classic, clear, bright, and punchy Jazz Bass tone made famous across decades, this Jazz Bass carries plenty of personality to fit in anywhere. Backing this tone up, this Fender Custom Jazz Bass features a number of great hardware specifications like Vintage '70s tuning machines, a 75 J Bass bridge, and pickup and bridge covers. This Fender Custom Shop '75 Jazz Bass travels with an included black Jazz Bass hardshell case.

An endless night sky to gaze into, this Jazz Bass is a bottomless well of musicality.
