Vintage-Style '60s Jazz Bass Tone

The vintage-style '60s single-coil Jazz Bass pickups deliver the classic J-Bass sound - growling, articulate, and incredibly versatile. Each pickup can be blended independently, allowing you to dial in everything from warm, round neck pickup tones to bright, cutting bridge pickup sounds, or blend both for the signature scooped Jazz Bass voice. This is the tone that has defined bass playing across funk, rock, jazz, and R&B for over 60 years.

Fiesta Red Finish

Fiesta Red is one of Fender's most iconic custom colors - a vibrant, eye-catching red that was hugely popular in the 1960s. This bold finish makes a statement on stage while maintaining the professional aesthetic that Fender is known for. Fiesta Red Jazz Basses have graced countless iconic performances and remain one of the most sought-after vintage finishes.

Dual Pickup Versatility

The Jazz Bass's dual single-coil pickup configuration is what makes it so versatile. With independent volume controls for each pickup, you can create an infinite range of tones - from warm, vintage Motown sounds to aggressive, modern slap tones. The ability to blend both pickups gives you the famous scooped midrange that cuts through any mix.

Early-'60s C Neck Profile

The early-'60s C neck profile is comfortable and versatile - slightly slimmer than Precision Bass necks but still substantial enough to feel solid. This shape is perfect for players of all styles and hand sizes. Combined with the 7.25" radius fingerboard and vintage frets, this neck delivers authentic '60s playing experience.

Perfect For:

Whether you're a vintage enthusiast seeking authentic '60s Jazz Bass tone and feel at an accessible price, a funk or R&B player needing that classic J-Bass growl, a versatile bassist wanting multiple tones from one instrument, or a collector appreciating the vibrant Fiesta Red finish, this bass delivers. Its combination of period-correct specifications, tonal versatility, and modern reliability makes it an exceptional value.
