Features We Love:

1966 Neck Shape

One of the biggest factors in our enjoyment of a guitar is the neck shape and Fender has kept things true to vintage specs with this era-specific neck carve. This 1966 U shape is very comfortable combined with the narrow nut width of the Jazz bass. This carve really helps to bring that effortless playability that vintage Jazz basses are known for.

Pure Vintage Pickups

Not just looking to capture the feel of a 60's Jazz Bass, Fender have gone with their Pure Vintage single coils wound specifically for that 1966 spec. No other pickup sounds quite like a Jazz bass single coil and Fender have wound these pickups to capture all the magic of a vintage pickup.

Vintage Spec, Modern Quality

Fender has recreated as much of that vintage vibe as they can with this model from the year-specific neck shape and pickups, to the 7.25" radius fingerboard, and even the 4 saddle bridge and 'lollipop' tuners. But it doesn't have any problems that can sometimes be associated with vintage guitars thanks to the always stellar Fender USA quality. You can pick this bass up and know you have an instrument you can trust to deliver a great tone and a fantastic playing experience.
