Excelling in just about every capacity, Justin Meldal-Johnson is as flexible as his signature short-scale bass. A beautifully Road Worn Daphne Blue finish with vintage hardware, lollipop tuners, and aged white pickguard show their history as the go-to instrument for one of music's most impressive polymaths. The short-scale 30" neck features a 9.5"-radius rosewood fingerboard, and the split-coil Mustang pickup is completely custom-spec, making this one of the most original artist basses available, and a perfect representation of the artist himself.
Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender's Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world's first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world's leading guitar manufacturer.
Developed hand-in-hand with some of the biggest artists of yesterday and today, the Fender Artist Series is a collaborative line of signature models incorporating hand-selected tonewoods and custom appointments and specs, voiced to specific tones and playing styles by our master builders and the artists themselves. Stratocasters, Telecasters, Jaguars, Jazzmasters, and Jazz, Precision, and Jaguar basses take on new life with the help of some of music's most revered icons.
