VINTAGE STYLE FOR THE MODERN ERA
For players who want the style and sound of Fenders golden era, we created the Vintera 60s Jazz Bass. Equipped with the coveted features that defined the decade including period-accurate neck profile and playing feel, along with recreated 60s pickups this bass has all of the growl that made the J BassŪ famous.
For authentic, original-era tone we re-voiced the pair of single-coil Jazz Bass pickups to sound more like the originals. Gritty and growling, they have the tone that made the J Bass popular. The Mid '60s C-shaped neck has a 7.25-radius fingerboard with 20 vintage-style frets for classic playing feel. A vintage-style, 4-saddle bridge with threaded saddles and reverse, open-gear tuning machines provide original-era aesthetics, rock-solid performance and tuning stability. Other features include 34 scale length, chrome hardware and 4-bolt neck plate. Includes a deluxe gig bag.
