From the slab rosewood fingerboard and clay dot inlays to the stacked concentric controls and threaded-saddle bridge, this bass is packed with era-correct details that capture the spirit of the original. Whether you are chasing classic soul, Motown thump, articulate jazz lines or bright, growling rock tones, the Vintera III Early 60s Jazz Bass gives you that familiar Fender feel with inspiring playability.

Authentic Early 60s Jazz Bass Feel

The early 60s C-shaped maple neck and 7.25 inch radius slab rosewood fingerboard recreate the feel of a well-loved vintage Jazz Bass. The rounded profile sits naturally in the hand, encouraging relaxed left-hand technique, while the vintage-tall frets provide a classic feel with just enough height for confident bends, vibrato and precise intonation up the neck.

Classic Alder Body and Sonic Blue Finish

An alder body delivers the balanced, punchy and clear tonal foundation that has defined Fender basses for decades. It offers tight lows, present mids and a smooth top end that sits perfectly in a mix. Finished in Sonic Blue with a gloss polyester coat, this bass combines vintage-correct aesthetics with a durable finish that will keep it looking sharp gig after gig.

Vintage-Style Early 60s Pickups

A pair of vintage-style early 60s single-coil Jazz Bass pickups provide the warm, woody and articulate tones that made the original instruments legendary. The bridge pickup offers bite and definition for cutting through dense arrangements, while the neck pickup brings fullness and depth. Together, they deliver everything from smooth, rounded lines to bright, growling fingerstyle and punchy picked tones.

Stacked Concentric Controls and Vintage Hardware

The stacked concentric control layout gives you independent volume and tone for each pickup, making it easy to fine-tune your sound without external EQ. Combined with the 4-saddle vintage-style bridge with threaded steel saddles and reverse vintage-style tuners, you get classic looks, rock-solid tuning stability and reliable intonation that stays true to the original design.
