Fender Vintera III Early ’60s Jazz Bass Rosewood Sonic Blue Overview

The Fender Vintera III Early ’60s Jazz Bass in Sonic Blue captures the punch, clarity, and refined control layout that defined Fender’s early-’60s era. Built with an alder body and a maple neck topped with a slab rosewood 7.25" radius fingerboard, it delivers full, articulate low end with warm, woody mids and crisp top-end detail.

The Early ’60s “C”-shape neck profile offers a comfortable, familiar feel, while vintage-tall frets maintain period-correct playability. A pair of vintage-style early ’60s single-coil Jazz Bass pickups provide balanced, expressive tone, and the stacked concentric control layout allows independent volume and tone adjustment for each pickup—true to early-’60s spec.
