Description
The Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass, a premium reissue of the iconic 1960s model. This meticulously crafted instrument provides musicians and collectors alike with an authentic vintage experience, now enhanced for contemporary playing styles.
Pure Vintage Pickups Deliver Iconic Tone
The American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass is equipped with a pair of Pure Vintage '66 Jazz Bass single-coil pickups, which provide the warm and punchy tone that defined a generation. Roll back the tone knob for a round, Motown-inspired thump or crank it up for an aggressive midrange bite perfect for rock and funk.
Fast, Comfortable Neck Profile
This reissue bass features a comfortable U-shaped maple neck and 7.25" rosewood fingerboard, which offers a slick playing feel and vintage-correct appearance. The narrow nut width and medium frets make navigating the fingerboard a breeze, while the 12" fingerboard radius provides an ideal blend of chording comfort and low-action string bending.
Premium Vintage-Style Components
From the four-saddle bridge with threaded saddles to the vintage-style reverse tuners, the American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass is packed with period-correct parts that provide rock-solid performance and eye-catching esthetics. An alder body, four-ply tortoiseshell pickguard and Sea Foam Green finish complete the vintage vibe.
Case and Certificate of Authenticity Included
As a final touch, Fender includes a vintage-style black case with orange lining as well as a certificate of authenticity, which displays the instrument's unique serial number and verifies its place in Fender history.
