‘60s Jazz Bass
Fender’s next innovation in the world of bass guitars was the Jazz Bass that was introduced in 1960. The Vintera II Jazz Bass incorporates all the versatile and reliable specifications that made the original so great. Many famous artists have used the Jazz Bass over the years, such as Flea from RHCP, and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin, showcasing the vast playable styles of this twin single coil instrument. This faithful recreation features an Alder body and Maple neck for balanced resonance that supports the punchy clear sound projected by the vintage-style ‘60s single coil pickups. These pickups produce a bright and vibrant tone, with a hotter output that gives a midrange growl, perfect for a wide variety of different styles.
The flawlessly carved “C” neck shape is based on the early ‘60s profile that many people have come to know and love for its comfortability and greatly balanced support when moving around the neck. For solid tuning stability, the vintage-style 4-saddle bridge combined with the vintage-style reverse open-gear tuners give precise intonation that maintains that distinguishable, versatile, and vintage sound. The Vintera II Jazz Bass is a prime example of Fender’s innovative and genre defining stable in the industry, providing vintage character in style and tone.
