Description

Unleash the timeless groove of your dreams with the Custom Fender P-Bass, a masterpiece born from the skilled hands of master builder Dennis Galuszka. Crafted with an impeccable two-piece alder body, this bass is more than just an instrument—it's a tribute to vintage charm and modern precision. The neck, made from quartersawn maple and complemented by a luxurious rosewood fingerboard, offers a smooth playing experience with its classic "C" shape profile and 9.5" radius.

Every note you play will resonate with the rich, authentic sound that only a Custom Shop Josefina hand-wound ’62 P-Bass pickup can deliver. This signature pickup brings your performances to life with the unmistakable warmth and punch that have made the P-Bass a legend. The vintage-style frets and vintage P-Bass bridge further enhance its authentic feel, while the mint green pickguard adds a touch of retro style.

Complete with a bone nut and vintage-style tuning machine heads, the Custom Fender P-Bass is designed to stay in tune and perform flawlessly, whether you're in the studio or on stage. The Journeyman Relic finish gives it a well-loved look, reminiscent of decades of musical history.

Blondie and I have shared over 3,300 SD shows together, which was about 4,125 (@2 to 3hrs a session) rehearsals, the last 10 years of shows, full set 2x sound checks, hundreds of sideshows and studio sessions, and over 3,000 hrs. being lovie dovie on the couch.
