Building on the success of their acclaimed American Vintage and Original ranges, Fender's revamped American Vintage II Series takes things up a notch! Comprising dozens of remarkably precise recreations of timeless Fender designs, these guitars are built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes, and meticulously-voiced, year-specific pickups. The American Vintage II Series painstakingly pays tribute to the revolutionary instruments that altered the course of popular music forever, with each model capturing the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.
When Don Randall at Fender Sales requested a more sophisticated, high-end bass model — the now iconic Jazz Bass was the result! The neck was narrower at the nut, providing a faster and more effortless feel, and the sleek new body style mirrored the offset contoured shape of the Jazzmaster. By 1966, evolution of the instrument reached new heights with striking, fresh features.
The American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass features a comfortable "U"-shaped hard rock Maple neck, and it plays like a dream with a 7.25"-radius round-lam Rosewood fingerboard and vintage tall frets. Characteristic of production in 1966, this J-Bass is offered with white neck binding, pearl dots, two volume controls with master tone and a 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard. The 4-saddle bridge with threaded saddles, vintage-style "lollipop" tuners and Pure Vintage '66 Jazz Bass pickups deliver classic "thump" and style.
Key Features
- Gloss Nitro Finish — Nitrocellulose is a famously thin, vintage-style lacquer that allows the instrument to breathe for beautiful resonance. It ages nicely too, yielding an organic "played-in" feel that wears naturally over time.
- Pure Vintage '66 Single-Coil Pickups — Deliver punchy and pronounced tones that are perfect for all playing styles, from picking to slapping!
- 4-Saddle Bridge — An innovation that has stood the test of time; allowing for precise action and intonation adjustment.
- "U"-Shaped Maple Neck — A unique, period-correct neck profile adorned with vintage tall frets for "Golden Era" playability.
- Vintage-Style Case — Rugged black hard case is included, offering excellent protection. It features a vibrant orange interior too!
- Made in Corona, California — All American Vintage II guitars are constructed in Fender's main California factory; the beating heart of Fender craftsmanship.
