Fender American Vintage II '66 Jazz Bass Lake Placid Blue

The Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass faithfully recreates one of the most influential basses ever built, capturing the unmistakable feel, tone, and craftsmanship that made the Jazz Bass a studio and stage favorite throughout the late '60s.

Built with period-correct appointments from top to bottom, it delivers the articulate growl, focused low end, and effortless playability that defined an era while offering the reliability expected from a modern American-made instrument. 

A comfortable 1966 "U"-shaped maple neck pairs with a bound round-laminated rosewood fingerboard featuring vintage tall frets and a classic 7.25" radius for an authentic vintage playing experience. Pure Vintage '66 Jazz Bass pickups provide the signature punch, clarity, and dynamic response that have made this model a staple across rock, soul, funk, jazz, and countless recording sessions. White neck binding, pearloid dot inlays, vintage-style "Lollipop" tuners, and a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish complete a bass that looks, feels, and sounds remarkably close to an original 1966 example.
