Traditional in construction and design

In the construction of the American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass, Fender adheres to the specifications of its namesake vintage with great attention to detail. Under the thin nitrocellulose lacquer, an alder body is used, whose ergonomic offset design with rounded edges and large comfort shapings promises comfortable handling of the bass guitar both on the strap and on the thigh. The bolt-on maple neck naturally features the authentic "1966 U" profile, which promises excellent playing characteristics for any technique with strong rounding and narrow 38 mm nut width. The rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dots and elegant binding is also glued to the 7.25" radius (184 mm) specified by the neck blank using the " Round Laminated" method.

Authentic vintage sounds for almost any genre

At the bass amplifier, the American Vintage II Jazz Bass turns out to be a sonic all-rounder that not only feels at home in the eponymous jazz, but also comes up with the appropriate tones for almost any music genre between blues, rock, R'n'B, funk and metal. Separate volume controls allow infinitely variable mixing of the Fender Pure Vintage '66 J-Bass single coils in bridge and middle positions, providing an extensive tonal palette with unmistakable vintage character, ranging from the wiry and mid-range assertiveness of the bridge pickup to the deep yet transparent sound of the middle pickup. To customize the Bass sound, the bass guitar also features the traditional passive treble cutoff.

On the body, the factory-wound strings are held by the traditional Pure Vintage 4-saddle bridge, whose fluted steel tailpieces not only guarantee precise adjustment of intonation and string action, but also make string spacing selectable within certain limits. Behind the bone nut, precise Pure Vintage "Lollipop" tun ers with distinctive oval wings also keep the E-Bass securely in the correct tuning. In addition, the headstock carries a third strap button that allowed the strap to be attached to the headstock using the classic method on original vintage instruments. Last but not least, the historically correct bridge cover is included with the Bass for optional installation.
