When you take an American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass for a test drive, you’ll be impressed by its vintage tone and outstanding playability. A member of Fender’s American Vintage II series, the bass consists of period-accurate components that perfectly mirror those found on a real-deal ’66 J-Bass. This 4-string bass features an offset, contoured alder body and a super comfortable “U”-shaped maple neck. It comes loaded with two Pure Vintage ’66 single-coil J-Bass pickups that perfectly reproduce the biting thump of that model year. Other vintage features include the 7.25-inch round-laminated rosewood board, fingerboard binding, 4-saddle bridge, and “lollipop” tuning keys. There’s a lot to like about the Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass, and we’re just scratching the surface.
Experience the magic of “Golden Era” axes with Fender’s American Vintage II Series! The series offers painstaking re-creations of year-specific guitars and basses from Fender’s vaunted instrument production history. Each American Vintage II Series instrument features period-accurate features and construction, from tonewood pairings and pickups to body shapes and neck profiles. Even the wiring schemes and fingerboard profiles are exactly as they were decades ago! You’ll find your new favorite axe in the all-new American Vintage II Series.
Fender knows how important vintage J-Bass tone is to you. So, their most accomplished pickup designers created the Pure Vintage ’66 pickups and loaded them into this axe’s period-accurate pickguard. Pure Vintage ’66 pickups are carefully voiced to encapsulate the tone and spirit of the 1966 Jazz Basses. This isn’t a reproduction of a general ‘60s-style pickup. Instead, each time you plug into your American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass, you get the exact tone and responsiveness of a genuine ’66 Jazz Bass.
The American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass comes with a “U”-shaped maple neck topped by a 7.25-inch radius round-laminated rosewood fingerboard — a standard cost-saving practice at the time. The neck’s profile rests securely in your hand, providing a solid and stable feel. Vintage bass lovers will love playing the 20 Narrow Tall frets! Whether you stand or sit, the comfortable offset J-Bass body’s alder construction provides a well-balanced and comfortable playing feel. Players who love old-school Fender sound and feel will enjoy playing the Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass. This guitar is in excellent shape with a few light marks, rated at 9.5/10. All original and free from any breaks, cracks or repairs.
