In crafting the American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass, Fender stays true to the original vintage specifications with meticulous attention to detail. Beneath the thin nitrocellulose lacquer, the bass features an alder body with the ergonomic offset design, characterized by rounded edges and comfort contours that ensure easy handling both when worn on a strap and played resting on the thigh. The bolt-on maple neck features the authentic "1966 U" profile, offering superb playability for any technique, with a strong curve and narrow 38mm nut width. The rosewood fingerboard adorned with pearloid dot inlays and elegant binding is glued to the neck with the "Round Laminated" method and has a 7.25" radius (184mm), exactly as specified on the original instruments.

At the amplifier, the American Vintage II Jazz Bass proves to be an incredibly versatile instrument that excels not only in jazz but also delivers the perfect tones for a variety of genres including blues, rock, R&B, funk, and even metal. The bass features separate volume controls for each of the Fender Pure Vintage '66 J-Bass single coils in both the bridge and neck positions, providing a wide tonal range. From the bright, mid-range assertiveness of the bridge pickup to the deep yet transparent sound of the neck pickup, the bass delivers unmistakable vintage character. Additionally, the traditional passive treble cutoff allows further customization of your sound.

Completing the American Vintage II Jazz Bass RW Olympic White, Fender uses historically accurate hardware to stay true to the original design. The traditional Pure Vintage 4-saddle bridge holds the factory-wound strings, with fluted steel tailpieces that ensure precise adjustment of both intonation and string action, as well as adjustable string spacing within certain limits. The Pure Vintage "Lollipop" tuners with distinctive oval wings keep the bass securely in tune, while the headstock carries a third strap button, just as on the original vintage models, allowing for the strap to be attached to the headstock in the classic manner.
