Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Don Randall at Fender Sales requested a more sophisticated, high-end bass model, the now iconic Jazz Bass was the result. The neck was narrower at the nut, providing a faster and more effortless feel and the sleek new body style mirrored the offset contoured style of the Jazzmaster. By 1966, evolution of the instrument reached new heights with striking new features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass features a comfortable \"U\" shape hard rock maple neck, and it plays like a dream with a 7.25\" radius round-lam rosewood fingerboard and vintage tall frets. Characteristic of production in 1966, this J-Bass is offered with white neck binding, pearl dots, two volume controls with master tone, matching painted headstock and 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard. The 4-saddle bridge with threaded saddles, vintage-style \"lollipop\" tuners and Pure Vintage '66 Jazz Bass pickups deliver classic thump and style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlder Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure Vintage '66 Single-Coil Jazz Bass Pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"U\"-Shaped Neck Profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBound Round-Lam Rosewood Fretboard with Paint Matched Headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure Vintage 'Lollipop' Tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeneral\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: American Vintage II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrientation: Right-Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Lake Placid Blue Antigua\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry Of Origin: US\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadstock: Jazz Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: 1966 \"U\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Construction: 4-Bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 7.25\" (184.1 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Bound Round-Laminated Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition Inlays: White Pearloid Dot - 7 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide Dots: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: Vintage-Style Butt Adjust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod Nut: Vintage-Style Butt Adjust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Nut: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.5\" (38.1 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Size: Vintage Tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 34\" (864 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Alder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Jazz Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Style: Solid Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: Alder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Pure Vintage 4-Saddle with Threaded Steel Saddles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Cover\/Tailpiece: Includes Chrome Bridge Cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Mounting: 5-Screw Vintage-Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: 3-Ply Aged White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Cover: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl Knobs: Black Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Finish: Nickel\/Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Pure Vintage ‘Lollipop’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Trees: Vintage-Style Disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: Fender® USA 7250M Nickel Plated Steel (.045-.105 Gauges), PN 0737250406\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Plate: 4-Bolt with \"F\" Logo, Serialized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrap Buttons: Vintage-Style \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Pure Vintage '66 Single-Coil Jazz Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiddle Pickup: Pure Vintage '66 Single-Coil Jazz Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Configuration: SS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Volume 1.
