Description
The Fender Vintera III Early '60s Jazz Bass Rosewood in Aztec Gold gives you classic early '60s Jazz Bass tone with a refined custom color twist. Aztec Gold has that subtle metallic sheen that feels vintage rather than flashy, especially paired with the mint guard and slab rosewood board. If you want strong low end punch and articulate midrange with a little extra visual presence, this one stands out.
The alder body provides balanced response and clarity, paired with a maple neck carved into an Early '60s C profile that feels broken-in and comfortable. The 7.25 inch radius slab rosewood fingerboard with 20 vintage tall frets keeps the feel true to the era. The pair of Vintage-Style Early '60s single-coil Jazz Bass pickups deliver warm, woody neck tones and defined bridge growl. The stacked concentric controls allow independent volume and tone for each pickup, giving you more flexibility when shaping your sound. The 4-saddle vintage-style bridge with threaded steel saddles adds solid intonation and sustain.
Vintage-style reverse tuning machines, bone nut, and nickel chrome hardware round out the authentic details. The 34 inch scale length provides the familiar Jazz Bass string tension and note definition. We like this one because it stays faithful to early '60s specs while offering a finish that feels a little more special.
