Description
The Fender Vintera III Early '60s Jazz Bass Rosewood in Sonic Blue pairs classic early '60s tone with one of Fender's most iconic custom colors. Sonic Blue gives it that vintage catalog feel, especially alongside the mint guard and slab rosewood board. If you want clear, punchy Jazz Bass response with a finish that stands out on stage, this one makes a strong case.
The alder body keeps the tone balanced and articulate, matched with a maple neck carved into an Early '60s C profile that feels comfortable and natural in your hand. The 7.25 inch radius slab rosewood fingerboard with 20 vintage tall frets maintains the traditional curvature and feel. The Vintage-Style Early '60s single-coil Jazz Bass pickups deliver tight low end, defined mids, and smooth high end presence. The stacked concentric controls allow independent volume and tone shaping for each pickup, giving you detailed control over your blend. The 4-saddle vintage-style bridge with threaded steel saddles keeps intonation solid and response focused.
Vintage-style reverse tuning machines, bone nut, and nickel chrome hardware complete the period-correct build. The 34 inch scale length gives you the familiar Jazz Bass tension and clarity that sits well in any mix. We like this one because it blends true early '60s tone with a finish that feels both classic and distinctive.
