Funk Machine
James Jamerson played bass on a multitude of Motown recordings at Hitsville U.S.A. in Detroit, and he is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His own '62 P-bass, named Funk Machine, was stolen just days before his death in 1983 and was never found. Fender launched this tribute in 2026.
Set up like his
Under the bridge cover is a foam mute that reduces the sustain of the notes, making them short and tight. La Bella flatwound strings provide a deep, mellow low end. This is how Jamerson himself had his bass set up.
Heirloom lacquer
The body and neck feature Fender's Heirloom nitrocellulose lacquer, which changes over time and develops a patina as the bass is played.
