Jazz Bass in the authentic style of the sixties
With the Fender Vintera '60s Jazz Bass PF Firemist GoldFender sends an authentic reissue of Leo Fender's second great bass design from the golden era of electric instruments into the race. Here Fender relies on the proven construction with an alder body in the swinging Offset-Design and a bolt-on maple neck, whose slim "Thin C" profile with 38 mm nut width guarantees an extremely smooth playability. Two FenderVintage-Style '60s Jazz Bass single coil pickups promise furthermore the legendary, broad sound spectrum, with the help of which the appropriate groove foundation can be laid for almost any music style between jazz, rock, pop Blues or metal. High-quality Hardware in the form of an American Vintage bridge and tuning stable American VintageReverseOpen-Gear tuners completes the Vintera '60s Jazz Bass PF Firemist Gold bass guitar from Fender.
The Fender Vintera '60s Jazz Bass PF Firemist Gold comes with the typical Fender specifications of the sixties and promises authentic vintage feeling in terms of look and sound.
The bolt-on "Mid '60s C" maple neck and the alder body in offset design promise first-class playing characteristics.
Offset body and narrow neck
When building the Vintera '60s Jazz BassFender naturally follows the historical guidelines of the sixties to get as close as possible to the feel and sound of an original from that time. Due to the asymmetrical offset design, the alder body promises a snug playing position with ideal balance both on the strap and on the thigh. The slim "Mid '60s C" maple neck with the obligatory nut width of 38 mm also convinces with agile playing characteristics up to the highest positions of the 20-fret Pau Ferro fingerboard with historically accurate 7.25" radius (184 mm), so that classic and modern playing techniques are equally comfortable.
Two Fender vintage-style '60s Jazz Bass single coils and traditional circuitry with two volume controls and tone pot promise diverse bass sounds for almost any genre.
Vintage style single coil pickups
As pickup for the Vintera '60s J-Bass Fender chooses two in-house Vintage-Style '60s Jazz Bass single coils in the usual sixties positions. Made on the basis of historical models, the single coils deliver a wide-ranging sound spectrum that makes the electric bass guitar a sought-after all-rounder for almost every genre between funk, soul, blues, rock, metal and jazz. While the bridge pickup comes up with an enormous assertiveness thanks to its well-dosed presence, the middle pickup delivers a full-bodied, yet transparent sound. In addition to a dedicated volume control for each pickup, a classic treble slider allows you to adjust the tone colour.
Four Fender American Vintage reverse open-gear tuners keep the Vintera '60s J-Bass securely in the correct tuning.
American Vintage Hardware
Of course, Fender completes the Vintera '60s Jazz Bass PF Firemist GoldE-Bass with historically accurate and reliable hardware. The classically built American Vintage 4-saddle bridge with four ribbed string riders not only guarantees precise intonation and comfortable string action, but also supports the bass guitar's characterful, sustain-rich sound. On the headstock, American VintageReverseOpen-Gear tuners also guarantee precise tuning with unshakable stability.
Easily the best price for this bass across UK and Europe stores. Really easy ordering and quick delivery and the packaging ensured that my bass arrived in perfect condition. Set-up by store also meant I could play ‘straight from the box’; I will be back for amps and accessories. Thanks.
