Fender Vintera® III Early '60s Jazz Bass – Sonic Blue

The early 1960s Jazz Bass is the blueprint that every modern bass owes something to — slim neck, dual single-coil pickups, and a voice that sits perfectly in any mix. The Vintera® III Early '60s Jazz Bass recreates that blueprint with period-correct precision, finished in Sonic Blue: one of Fender's most iconic and sought-after custom colors. Whether you're tracking in the studio or holding down the low end on stage, this bass delivers the warm, punchy, articulate tone that made the Jazz Bass a legend.

The Jazz Bass Voice, Vintage and True

Two vintage-style early '60s single-coil pickups capture the full character of the original — punchy and articulate at the bridge, warm and woody at the neck, and beautifully balanced when both are wide open. The alder body and rosewood fingerboard add natural warmth and resonance that modern basses rarely match at any price.

• Body: Alder — warm, resonant, balanced tone
• Neck: Maple, early '60s "C"-shaped profile
• Fingerboard: Rosewood, 7.25" radius, vintage-tall frets
• Pickups: 2x vintage-style early '60s Jazz Bass single-coils
• Bridge: Vintage-style 4-saddle for rock-solid intonation and sustain
• Tuners: Vintage-style tuning machines
• Finish: Sonic Blue — period-correct Fender custom color

The early '60s "C"-shaped neck and 7.25" radius rosewood fingerboard deliver the slim, fast feel that Jazz Bass players have always loved — comfortable for long sessions, responsive for intricate lines, and natural in the hand from the first note. Vintage-tall frets make every note speak clearly without fighting the instrument.
