Description
The 60th Anniversary Jazz Bass, featuring an offset body, slim tapered neck and dual single-coil pickups, celebrates Fender's original "deluxe" four-string with sonic excellence and style. The alder body boasts the classic J-Bass offset waist design, and is paired with a fast-action '60s U-shaped maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard topped with 20 vintage tall frets and white pearloid dot markers. The original-era tones are delivered via a pair of specially-voiced Pure Vintage '62 Single-Coil Jazz Bass pickups that are controlled, just as on the earliest models, via stacked concentric volume and tone knobs. Other vintage-style appointments include a four-saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles, period-correct pickup covers and reverse open-gear tuners. It's all finished in a stunning Arctic Pearl complemented by a tortoiseshell pickguard and white binding on the neck and matching headcap. Professionally set up with fresh stings and low action so it's ready to play upon arrival.
