Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass Ltd (USA, RW) - black

Limited edition with an alder body, rosewood fingerboard, and black finish.

The FENDER Limited Edition American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass (0190170806) solid-body electric bass offers a very attractive alternative to the reissues in the Fender Custom Shop’s Time Machine series.
Modeled after the original vintage models from the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s, the American Vintage II models produce incredibly authentic tones and evoke the same emotions that musicians of that era surely felt.

Launched in 1960 to offer a more sophisticated alternative to the Precision Bass, its design was inspired by the Jazzmaster. Designed by Leo Fender, the Jazz Bass features an asymmetrical “offset” body, a more compact and easy-to-play neck, and a pair of single-coil pickups that offer greater tonal flexibility.
Used by the greatest bassists across all musical genres, it has become, over the decades, an indispensable model and a benchmark for all instrument makers.

Introduced in the early 1980s, the American Vintage series marked Fender’s return to the forefront as the CBS era came to an end. Fender completely reimagined the concept of vintage reissues by restoring original tools, developing new pickups, and recreating the original finishes.
