Scintillating 60s sound...
A sound that defined generations of musicians. One that inspired decades of music. And a sound that was vastly used across a multitude of styles and genres. In the 1960s, Fender changed the game. The Jazz Bass became a favourite amongst working musicians for its premium appointments and versatile sound. Now, you can carry on that legacy. From blues to pop and everything in between, two Fender Single-Coil Jazz Bass pickups bring wide-reaching dynamics and a smooth well-rounded tone to your playing. Built for authenticity, the single-coils boast warm lows that are tight and articulate. Whether you’re up high or down low, every note will sing with crisp, clear resonance. And, with Stacked Concentric Control, it's easy to inject your individual flair with this legendary 60th Anniversary J Bass.
An authentic feel of the 60s
You can’t beat the classics. But you can perfect them. The 60th Anniversary Jazz Bass delivers era-specific playability for you, the modern bassist. It’s ideal for any style of player, from traditional jazz to contemporary pop thanks to the ability to riff with ease on a mid 60s ''C''-shaped neck that’s been sculpted for enhanced hand positioning. And you’re sure to hit the right note. Medium jumbo frets on a sleek pau ferro fingerboard ensure that your finger work is precise and comfortable, adding a resonant warm full of sustain along the way. It’s easy to perfect your performance with a legend at your hands.
Pitch perfect - night after night
You’ve brought your A-game. You're playing with passion and accuracy. Now you need your bass to do its part as well. Well, rest assured because everything you play on this bass will be accurate and precise. At the hands of Vintage Style Reverse open-gear tuning machines, your strings will be held in tune. So stressful re-tuning mid-song will become a thing of the past. A synthetic bone nut also provides pitch-perfect intonation and string stability which means no more buzzing or dampening of your tone. Plus, you have a reliable four-saddle vintage-style bridge with threaded steel saddles. How’s that for vintage excellence?
