Description
Fender's Vintera II '60s Jazz Bass marries classic tones with traditional stylings, making it perfect for players who love that old-school J-bass sound. Featuring a comfortable '60s neck, vintage-voiced pickups, and an eye-catching Lake Placid Blue finish, this axe is a tried-and-true workhorse that'll impress gigging pros and budding bassists alike.
Starting with an alder body, this bass projects that unmistakable Fender punch with tight lows, pronounced upper mids, and a sharp attack. Whether you're riffin' away on fingerstyle funk or classic rock tunes, you'll be amazed at how crisp and clear this bass sounds. Players will also love its Early '60s "C" shaped maple neck that feels sleek and thin in hand, and its 7.25"-radius rosewood fingerboard that plays with a buttery-smooth response.
Powering the Vintera II '60s Jazz Bass is a set of Vintage-Style '60s single-coils that churn out a stellar array of rich, spankin' tones. Roll on the neck pickup, and you'll conjure a warm thump that's perfect for old-school Soul and Motown riffs. Crank the bridge pickup and roll off the tone, and this beast will sling out bright, burpy "Jaco-esque" sounds.
Complete with a vintage-style bridge, threaded saddles, and open-back tuners, the Vintera II '60s Jazz Bass is a top-notch instrument that will bring you right back to Fender's golden era.
