Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass

Description

Brand: Fender The Fender® American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.When Don Randall at Fender Sales requested a more sophisticated, high-end bass model, the now iconic Jazz Bass® was the result. The neck was narrower at the nut, providing a faster and more effortless feel and the sleek new body style mirrored the offset contoured style of the Jazzmaster®. By 1966, evolution of the instrument reached new heights with striking new features.The American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass features a comfortable “U” shape hard rock maple neck, and it plays like a dream with a 7.25″ radius round-lam rosewood fingerboard and vintage tall frets. Characteristic of production in 1966, this J-Bass® is offered with white neck binding, pearl dots, two volume controls with master tone, matching painted headstock and 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard. The 4-saddle bridge with threaded saddles, vintage-style “lollipop” tuners and Pure Vintage ’66 Jazz Bass pickups deliver classic thump and style.The instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.Body:Body Material:AlderBody Finish:Gloss Nitrocellulose LacquerBody Shape:Jazz Bass®Neck:Neck Material:MapleNeck Construction:4-BoltNeck Binding:1-Ply WhiteNeck Finish:Gloss Nitrocellulose LacquerNeck Shape:1966 “U”Scale Length:34″ (86.36 cm)Fingerboard Material:Bound Round-Laminated RosewoodFingerboard Radius:7.25″ (184.1 mm)Number of Frets:20Fret Size:Vintage TallNut Material:BoneNut Width:1.5” (38.1 mm)Position Inlays:White Pearloid Dot – 7mmSide Dots:BlackTruss Rod:Vintage-Style Butt AdjustTruss Rod Nut:Vintage-Style Butt AdjustHardware:Bridge:Pure Vintage 4-Saddle with Threaded Steel SaddlesHardware Finish:Nickel/ChromeTuning Machines:Pure Vintage ‘Lollipop’Pickguard:4-Ply TortoiseshellControl Knobs:Black PlasticNeck Plate:4-Bolt with “F” Logo, SerializedElectronics:Bridge Pickup:Pure Vintage ’66 Single-Coil Jazz Bass®Middle Pickup:Pure Vintage ’66 Single-Coil Jazz Bass®Controls:Volume 1.
