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.
