Description
Fender's Vintera '60s Jazz Bass marries classic tones with traditional stylings, making it perfect for players who love the instantly recognizable sound and feel of a Fender J bass. With its period-accurate neck profile, recreated '60s pickups, and stunning Firemist Gold finish, the Vintera '60s Jazz Bass exudes vintage vibes from top to bottom.
Starting with an alder body, this bass projects that unmistakable Fender punch, with tight lows, pronounced upper mids, and a sharp attack. Whether you're riffin' away on fingerstyle funk or classic rock tunes, you'll be amazed at how crisp and clear this bass sounds. Players will love its Mid-'60s "C" shaped maple neck that feels sleek and thin in hand, perfect for playing dexterous bass fills, and its 7.25"-radius pau ferro fingerboard with 20 vintage-style frets that play with a buttery-smooth response.
Powering the Vintera '60s Jazz Bass is a set of Vintage-Style '60s single-coil pickups that churn out a stellar array of gritty, growlin' tones. Roll on the neck pickup and dime back the tone knob, and you'll conjure up a warm thump, perfect for old-school Soul and Motown riffs. Crank the bridge pickup and leave the tone wide open, and this baby will bark and howl like you wouldn't believe. No matter what sound you're chasing, the Vintera '60s Jazz Bass is more than capable of delivering the goods.
Complete with a vintage-style bridge with threaded saddles and reverse, open-gear tuning machines that provide original-era aesthetics and rock-solid tuning stability, the Vintera '60s Jazz Bass will bring you right back to Fender's Golden era.
