Fender’s American Original ‘60s Jazz Bass - Sonic Blue/Rosewood
Fender’s American Original ‘60s Jazz Bass offers the features and sound of the original version. The narrower neck, two single-coil pickups and the offset body offer the tone and style of the Jazz Bass’ earliest incarnation, with modern playability.
A pair of Pure Vintage ’64 Jazz Bass single-coil pickups are as period-correct as possible, with enamel-coated coil wire, cloth-covered output wires, fiber bobbins and alnico 5 magnets. The slim “C-shaped” neck profile and 9.5”-radius round-laminated rosewood fingerboard offer a fast comfortable playing experience.
Other authentic touches include vintage-tall frets, original-era body contour, vintage-style hardware*—including a four-saddle vintage-style bridge vintage-style hardshell case and a lacquer finish that not only lets the wood breathe naturally with resonant tone, it also wears in a distinctively appealing way.
*The American Original ‘60s Jazz bass does not come with chrome hand rest or “ash tray” bridge cover.
