This custom Relic was made for Chris Childs, bassist from the classic British rock band Thunder, Chris can also be seen touring with the likes of Don Airey, Paul Young and The Illegal Eagles.

This bass was made to look and feel like a vintage P Bass from around 59/60. The three tone sunburst nitro finish is worn and aged as is the hardware, the Rio Rosewood fingerboard and clay dots add to the authentic look of this instrument.

Chris commented " The Fender custom shop relics that i've played don't even come close to this, it really is like picking up a genuine old P bass"
