Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass RW Sea Foam Green Electric Bass Guitar with Case
Product no: 9000-0101-3580 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Deeply based on old blueprints, the Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass looks, feels and sounds just like an original example. From the wood and electronics to the finish and sound, the American Vintage II Series gets you closer to the real vintage thing than any other reproduction, and so you can keep it safe, every 1966 Jazz Bass comes including a deluxe case.

Authentic Build

Just like almost six decades ago, this Jazz Bass features a contoured alder body and a comfy, U-profile maple neck, while the fretboard has been carved from high-quality rosewood and comes with a 7.25" radius and 20 vintage tall frets for supple playability.

Hard to Tell Apart From the Original

Besides a superbly authentic construction, the 1966 Jazz Bass boasts the correct electronics. That means you're looking at two Pure Vintage Single-Coil pickups, which not only shape dynamic and versatile sound but make the whole thing even harder to distinguish from an original '66 J-Bass.

Wrote the following about Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass RW Sea Foam Green Electric Bass Guitar with Case

Mooie goed gebouwde bas. Uitstekende bespeelbaarheid en een mooi geluid. De bas was ook al goed afgesteld. Klinkt nieuw uit de koffer direct goed. Ik heb er wel na een beetje testen en inspelen een Hi-mass brug opgezet en een setje Rotosound snaren. Gewoon omdat ik dat op al mijn bassen heb, niet omdat het nodig was. Ben er erg blij mee.

Erg tevreden met deze bas, dat moet uiteraard ook wel voor zo'n prijs. Enige minpunt: ik heb extra betaald voor een bezorging op zaterdag. Maar de bas kwam pas de maandag erna. Maar dat lag meer aan de bezorgdienst dan Baxshop. Dus 5 sterren.
