Maybe not twenty-four karat, but certainly on its way, we've hit the motherlode with the Fender Vintera III Early '60s Jazz Bass in a rich Aztec Gold! This thrilling Vintera III series model takes out all the stops for a goldrush of vintage-inspired elements for a fully 3D vision of a vintage J Bass brand-new.

In Fender's Vintera III series, we're met with a few different tracks of guitar design. The Early '60s Jazz Bass introduces just that: an authentic early 1960s Fender Jazz Bass sound and vibe. Everything kicks off with an alder body decked in a gloss polyester finish. Easily carried across a stage, this alder body serves as an excellent sonic springboard off which the rest of the musical experience leaps. Extending out, this Jazz Bass introduces a gloss-finished maple neck in an Early '60s "C" profile. This neck maneuvers smoothly for chill, Fender basslines. A slab rosewood fingerboard matches this neck lined with twenty Vintage Tall frets with a retro-inspired 7.25" radius.

This Vintera Early '60s model comes to life truly with two Vintera III Vintage-Style Early '60s Single-Coil Jazz Bass pickups that are instantly expressive and inspiring. Individual pickup volume and tone controls shape these pickups' tones easily for a vivid and deep tone mixing feel. These pickups are backed up by a bone nut and Vintage-Style Reverse tuning machines for smooth stringing and a 4-Saddle Vintage-Style bridge with threaded steel saddles for a solid connection of string-to-body. This Fender Vintera III Early '60s Jazz Bass travels with an included Fender Deluxe gig bag.

Eureka! You've struck gold.
