Classic Early 60s Jazz Bass Tone

An alder body provides the balanced and lively tonal foundation Fender basses are famous for, delivering strong low end, defined mids, and clear articulation. This classic tonewood ensures the Jazz Bass sits perfectly in any mix, whether on stage or in the studio.

A pair of vintage style early 60s single coil pickups deliver the punchy yet articulate voice that put the Jazz Bass on the map. Expect woody warmth, bell like clarity, and dynamic response that reacts beautifully to touch and playing nuance.

Authentic Neck Feel and Vintage Comfort

The maple neck features an early 60s C shaped profile that feels instantly familiar and comfortable in the hand. Slim at the nut and gradually fuller toward the upper frets, it provides a natural playing experience that supports both fast runs and steady groove work.

A 7.25 inch radius slab rosewood fingerboard adds warmth to the tone while delivering traditional vintage comfort. Vintage tall frets offer slightly increased height, making expressive bends and wide vibrato smoother while retaining an authentic feel.

Period Correct Hardware and Reliable Performance

A vintage style four saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles delivers solid tuning stability, precise intonation, and the unmistakable look and feel of a classic Jazz Bass.

Reversed open gear vintage style tuning machines complete the authentic aesthetic while offering improved gear ratios for enhanced tuning stability during extended playing sessions.
