About this listing
Introduced in 1960 as Fender’s deluxe offset bass, the Jazz Bass offered a slimmer neck, contoured body and a more flexible two-pickup layout than the earlier Precision Bass. By 1966, the model was firmly established as one of Fender’s key designs, prized for its fast feel, strong note definition and the wide range available from the separate volume controls and master tone.This 1966 Fender Jazz Bass is finished in original Fiesta Red, one of the best-known and most sought-after Fender custom colours of the 1960s. Originally taken from Fender’s custom colour chart, Fiesta Red has long been associated with top-tier custom colour instruments because it stands out immediately without losing the classic Fender look. On a mid-1960s Jazz Bass, it is an especially attractive combination with the matching headstock and white guard.The bass is refretted, but otherwise all original, including all electronics. Neck date is July 66. The original Fiesta Red finish has normal dings, edge wear and general signs of use, but is in great overall condition. It also comes with its original Swedish-made export case, worn but fully functional, and includes the original metal pickup covers. Weight is 4100g.This is a strong custom colour 1966 Jazz Bass with the right look, the right specification and excellent originality.SPECIFICATIONSModel: Fender Jazz BassYear: 1966Origin: Fullerton, California, USAFinish: Original Fiesta Red custom colourHeadstock: Matching Fiesta Red headstockBody: AlderBody shape: Offset double cutaway Jazz Bass bodyNeck: Maple, bolt-onNeck plate: Four-bolt Fender neck plateFingerboard: Rosewood veneer fingerboardScale length: 34″Nut width: Approx. 38 mmFingerboard radius: 7.25″Frets: RefrettedInlays: Pearloid dot inlaysPickguard: White three-ply pickguardPickups: Two original Fender single-coil Jazz Bass pickupsControls: Volume for neck pickup, volume for bridge pickup, master tonePotentiometers: Original 1966-dated potsBridge: Original four-saddle Fender bridgeTuners: Original reverse Fender open-gear tunersHardware: ChromeCovers: Original metal pickup covers includedElectronics: Otherwise originalOriginality: Refretted, otherwise all originalWeight: 4100gCase: Original Swedish-made export caseCase condition: Worn but fully functionalFinish condition: Original finish with dings, wear and signs of use, but great overall condition
