Fender Vintera II 60s Jazz Bass, Rosewood Fingerboard, Lake Placid Blue

The Fender Vintera II 60s Jazz Bass is a meticulously crafted recreation of one of the most iconic electric bass guitars from Fender's history. This instrument captures the distinctive look, feel, and sound of the original 1960s Jazz Bass models, offering players an authentic vintage experience with some modern refinements for enhanced playability. It features the classic offset waist body shape that has become synonymous with the Jazz Bass, finished in the timeless Lake Placid Blue colour with a gloss polyester finish. Constructed with an alder body for balanced tonal characteristics, the bass features a maple neck with an early '60s 'C' shape profile and a 7.25-inch radius rosewood fingerboard with 20 vintage-tall frets. The vintage-style '60s single-coil Jazz Bass pickups deliver the articulate, clear, and punchy tones that defined the era, with separate volume controls for each pickup and a master tone control for versatile sound shaping. Hardware includes vintage-style open-back tuning machines and a 4-saddle vintage-style bridge with threaded steel saddles for improved intonation and tuning stability, all finished in nickel/chrome. This bass is well-suited for players seeking the classic Jazz Bass sound and feel, whether for studio recording, live performance, or practice. The included deluxe gig bag offers practical protection for transportation. Its versatile tonal palette makes it appropriate for various musical genres, from funk and soul to rock and jazz, providing the articulate mid-range and defined low-end response that bassists have relied on for decades. The combination of period-correct specifications and thoughtful modern touches results in an instrument that honours its heritage while remaining entirely functional for contemporary players.
