Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass with Rosewood Fingerboard in 3-Color Sunburst
Description
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.

For over 40 years we have stood proudly behind Fender. As an official Authorised Fender Dealer we have sold literally thousands upon thousands of Fender guitars and amplifiers dating back to the first Pink Paisley Telecaster in Australia. As an authorised Fender Service Centre, we take great care when it comes to repairing, servicing and setting up Fender guitars and amps. We are one of the leading advocates for the Fender Custom Shop range in Australia and we love being able to take customers on the journey of designing and receiving their custom-built dream guitar; the look in their eye when that beautiful instrument arrives is still one of the reasons we love what we do. We also pride ourselves on the incredibly close and personal relationship we have with Fender Music Australia (and the Fender Music Instrument Corp.) that extends to not only regular specialised training and updates for our devoted staff but also to personal invites for VIP tours of the Fender factories (in the US) and invites to see some of the greatest guitarists of all time including Bonnie Rait, Mick Thompson and Jim Root, to name just a few. Fender for life.
Here at Musos Corner, the things that matter to Musos, matter to us.
First, we stacked our store with a massive range of brands to suit every budget, then we filled our store with working Musos who are experts; guys and girls who are passionate about putting the right gear in your hands. We are proud of our independent Newcastle store since 1967, we love our gear, and we love getting you the right gear for your needs!
We like to think that's why we're the people's music store..... Find out more...
