The Fender Vintera III Early '60s Jazz Bass RW in Sonic Blue captures the punch, clarity and effortless feel that made the original a studio and stage staple. Built with an alder body and a maple neck topped with a slab rosewood fingerboard, it delivers tight lows, defined mids and crisp articulation that sit perfectly in a mix. The early '60s "C" neck profile and 7.25" radius keep the feel authentic and comfortable, while vintage tall frets add a touch of modern playability without losing that classic vibe.
Two vintage-style early '60s Jazz Bass single-coils provide warm, woody depth at the neck and growling bite at the bridge. Stacked concentric controls let you shape volume and tone for each pickup independently, unlocking everything from smooth, rounded thump to cutting fingerstyle attack. Finished in striking Sonic Blue with a 3-Ply Mint Green pickguard and period-correct hardware, this is timeless Fender tone with unmistakable early '60s character.

At the heart of this Vintera III model are two vintage-style early '60s Jazz Bass single-coil pickups, carefully voiced for the punchy, articulate sound that defined countless recordings. The neck pickup delivers warm, rounded lows with a woody midrange that suits soul, blues and laid-back grooves beautifully. Roll in the bridge pickup and you'll hear added bite, definition and midrange growl that cuts through dense mixes with ease. Together, they offer the dynamic response and expressive clarity that made the Jazz Bass a benchmark for electric bass tone.
The maple neck features an early '60s "C" profile that feels slim yet substantial in the hand, striking a perfect balance between comfort and control. A 7.25" radius slab rosewood fingerboard enhances the vintage feel, making extended sessions smooth and natural under the fingers. Vintage tall frets provide improved note articulation and confident bending when needed, while clay dot inlays and white side markers reinforce the period-correct aesthetic. It's a neck that feels instantly familiar and effortlessly playable.
This model stays true to early '60s specification with stacked concentric controls, giving each pickup its own dedicated volume and tone. That means you can precisely blend the neck and bridge pickups while independently shaping their top end response. Dial in a thick, supportive foundation with rolled-off highs, or brighten things up for sharper attack and clarity. It's an incredibly flexible layout that rewards experimentation and allows you to fine-tune your sound easily and without compromise.
A four-saddle vintage-style bridge with threaded steel saddles provides dependable intonation and solid sustain, contributing to the Jazz Bass's focused low-end response. Vintage-style reverse tuning machines enhance tuning stability while completing the authentic look. Finished in gloss Sonic Blue with a 3-Ply Mint Green pickguard, nickel/chrome hardware and knurled chrome concentric knobs, this Early '60s Jazz Bass delivers unmistakable Fender style from headstock to strap button.
