Tonal perfection
The Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass is a premium grade offering, from construction to sound and functionality. Equipped with single coil ‘66 Jazz Bass pickups that deliver an unmistakable voice based on the vintage bass sounds from the 1960s, your creativity is sure to be boundless. Powerful and responsive, these pickups are extremely versatile and range from a more aggressive sound for a punchier mid-range and an all-round red-hot output - to more delicate bass tone that is well-rounded and warm.
What's more, Fender basses are built so that as the tonewoods mature over time, so you will be rewarded with tonal development the more you play. The body of this guitar is an alder build, delivering a balanced response, featuring tight lows, clear mids and bright highs that are helped on by the brightness of the maple neck. The timber build of this bass brings a vintage, warm and natural feel to the tonal palette, providing a rich sound that is full of character and can be moulded to fit your taste.
Built for the road
The Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass is fully with loaded hardware designed to survive all the trials of life on the road. Aside from the 4-Saddle bridge, the vintage style lollipop tuning pegs work with the bone nut to hold the strings firm and enhance your guitar’s tuning stability. You’ll be able to utilise the master tone and two volume knobs for the respective pickups to find your own unique voice. All the hardware comes with a chrome finish for a robust performance and simmering visual effect.
