Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '54 Precision Bass Heavy Relic, Super-faded Aged 2-Color Sunburst

Full Description

Super-faded aged vintage finish

The Super-faded Aged 2-Color Sunburst finish captures the vibe of a well-loved 1954 original. With the Heavy Relic treatment applied by the Custom Shop, the body features detailed lacquer checking, worn edges, and authentic patina that perfectly replicates decades of playing and ageing. This careful process delivers the unmistakable appearance and feel of a true vintage instrument straight from Fender’s golden era.

Lightweight ash body construction

Crafted from carefully selected two-piece ash, the body balances resonance, sustain, and lightweight comfort. The Custom Shop's wood selection ensures every note rings with clarity and warmth, while the lightweight design reduces fatigue during longer performances. The tonal properties of ash create the punchy attack and rounded low-end response that defined the original Precision Bass.

Hand-wound '55 P-Bass pickup

Loaded with a Custom Shop Hand-Wound 1955 P-Bass Relic pickup, this model delivers the tone that shaped early electric bass. You get deep, powerful lows, articulate mids, and smooth highs, all perfect for a wide range of styles. The vintage wiring and flatwound strings pair with the pickup to give rich, thumpy character and unmistakable P-Bass authority.

Authentic '55 neck profile and build

The quarter-sawn maple neck features a 1955 soft V profile, offering a comfortable, stable feel. Heavy fret ghosting enhances the vintage vibe, while the 7.25-inch radius and medium vintage frets deliver smooth playability. With period-correct measurements like a 1.700-inch nut width and .925-inch first fret thickness, the neck captures the genuine feel of Fender’s earliest Precision designs.

Custom Shop Limited Edition detailing

Built exclusively for the 2024 Fall Event, this Limited Edition model includes standout collector details. The Custom Shop Limited Edition neck plate, reverse vintage tuners, 1-ply parchment pickguard with black finger rest, and aged chrome/nickel hardware complete the authentic look. Arriving with a Custom Shop tweed case and certificate of authenticity, this bass is a true masterpiece.
