Explanation
A 1966 Jazz Bass Journeyman Relic crafted by Jason Smith!
The Masterbuilt line—Fender Custom Shop’s top-tier series—features special instruments crafted under the personal supervision of a select group of highly skilled “Master Builders” from the Custom Shop, who take full responsibility for every step of the process, from wood selection to final adjustments.
This instrument is a 1966 Jazz Bass crafted by Master Builder Jason Smith. Having studied under the legendary Master Builder John English and been involved in the creation of numerous artist models, Jason Smith is known as a builder who enjoys the deep trust of many top bassists, including Flea and Steve Harris.
Built in 2023, this instrument is based on the 1966 specifications—featuring an alder body, a round rosewood fingerboard, and a matching headstock—while incorporating modern features throughout, resulting in the unique specifications characteristic of a Master-Built instrument.
The use of a Fender High Mass bridge and lightweight tuning pegs achieves excellent body balance and a clear tonal image. The U-shaped neck provides a solid, comfortable grip.
It has a solid midrange presence and a mellow tone, yet it’s by no means a dark sound—instead, it offers a well-defined, lively tone. The sustain, which glides smoothly from the moment you play a note, is incredibly pleasing. Not only is it a joy to play solo, but it will also fit perfectly into the desired frequency range within an ensemble.
Be sure to experience the Masterbuilt sound—a cut above the regular line!
