As raw and true to the music as the artist himself, the Fender Artist Flea Jazz Bass recreates the shell pink '61 Jazz Bass gifted to Flea by a fan and used to record both Stadium Arcadium and The Getaway, in addition to his work with the Thom Yorke-fronted Atoms For Peace. The dual Pure Vintage '64 single-coil pickups are voiced to sound just like the 1960s originals. The offset alder body bears a Road Worn nitrocellulose lacquer finish and custom, artist-designed neck plate. The maple neck has a "C" profile, 1.5" nut and its own Road Worn lacquer finish, as well as a 7.5"-radius rosewood fingerboard with 20 vintage-style frets.
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.
