Channel the Spirit of the Early ’60s J Bass

Featuring the trademark offset design with its contoured alder body, this Jazz Bass hugs your body and adapts to your playing style.

You also get a bounty of period-precise hardware, including a vintage-style 4-saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles and matching vintage-style reverse tuning machines. A 3-ply mint green pickguard, a thumb rest, and clay dot inlays round out this stellar retro-style Jazz Bass. Complete with the spirit and legendary sound of a bygone era, the Vintera III Early ’60s Jazz Bass puts Fender’s storied legacy right in your hands.

Rest assured that when you pick up a Vintera III instrument, you’re playing the guitars and basses that shaped music history.

Early-’60s playing comfort, refined to perfection

During the early 1960s, Fender introduced rosewood fingerboards, providing discerning players with an entirely new playing feel. The Fender Vintera III Early ’60s Jazz Bass reflects this design element, showcasing a vintage-style 7.25-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard, crowned with vintage-tall frets. Moreover, this Jazz Bass boasts a comfortably rounded Early ’60s C-shaped neck, which starts off slim at the nut and thickens slightly as you approach the 12th fret. You also get the J Bass’s trademark contours in an alder body that fits like the proverbial glove. Lastly, the Vintera III Early ’60s Jazz Bass features a vintage-style 4-saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles and matching vintage-style reverse tuning machines, offering authentic aesthetics and superior tuning precision.
