Product Description
The Fender Vintera III Early 60s Jazz Bass in Aztec Gold delivers the unmistakable look, feel and sound of an early 1960s J Bass, with period correct specs and modern build consistency. With its alder body, slab rosewood fingerboard and a pair of vintage style single coil pickups, it is built for players who want that classic, punchy Jazz Bass growl and effortless playability in a stunning metallic finish.
From the slim early 60s C neck profile and 7.25 inch radius fingerboard to the stacked concentric controls and threaded saddle bridge, this bass is packed with authentic details that make it feel like a well preserved original. Whether you are chasing warm, woody Motown style thump, articulate fingerstyle definition or bright, cutting slap tones, the Vintera III Early 60s Jazz Bass gives you the versatility and character that made the Jazz Bass a legend.
Authentic Early 60s Feel
The early 60s C shaped maple neck and 7.25 inch radius slab rosewood fingerboard recreate the comfortable, played in feel of a vintage Jazz Bass. Combined with vintage tall frets, it offers a smooth, familiar playing surface that suits everything from fast runs to laid back grooves, while still feeling precise and controlled under the fingers.
Classic Alder and Rosewood Tone
An alder body paired with a rosewood fingerboard delivers the quintessential Fender bass sound, full of punch, clarity and warmth. Alder keeps the response balanced across the frequency range, while rosewood adds a touch of smoothness to the top end, making this bass sit beautifully in a mix without ever sounding harsh.
Vintage Style Early 60s Pickups
The pair of vintage style early 60s single coil Jazz Bass pickups provide the articulate, growling tone that defined countless classic recordings. From soloing the neck pickup for rounded, woody lines to blending both pickups for tight, focused punch, you get a wide palette of usable sounds that respond dynamically to your touch.
Stacked Concentric Controls
True to the earliest Jazz Bass designs, the Vintera III Early 60s model uses stacked concentric controls, with individual volume and tone for each pickup. This layout lets you fine tune the blend and character of each pickup independently, unlocking subtle tonal shades that are not possible with a standard volume/volume/tone configuration.
Features
- Early 60s C Neck with 7.25 Inch Radius - The slim, rounded early 60s C profile and vintage correct 7.25 inch radius fingerboard provide a comfortable, familiar feel that encourages expressive playing, whether you prefer fast jazz lines or laid back soul grooves.
- Vintage Style Early 60s Single Coil Pickups - A matched pair of vintage style single coils delivers the punchy, articulate and woody Jazz Bass tone that cuts through the mix while still supporting the band, ideal for studio work and live performance alike.
- Stacked Concentric Volume and Tone Controls - Independent volume and tone controls for each pickup let you sculpt your sound with precision, from dark and rounded to bright and biting, all without needing external EQ.
- Alder Body with Gloss Polyester Finish - The classic alder body offers balanced, resonant tone, while the durable gloss polyester finish in Aztec Gold provides a striking vintage inspired look that stands out on any stage.
