The Fender Vintera II '60s Jazz Bass in Fiesta Red recreates the look, feel and sound of an early-1960s Fender Jazz Bass while retaining the consistency and dependability expected from a modern instrument.

Built around an alder body, maple neck and slab rosewood fingerboard, the Vintera II '60s Jazz Bass uses an early-'60s “C” neck profile, vintage-style 7.25" fingerboard radius and 20 Vintage Tall frets for an authentically traditional Fender playing feel.

A pair of vintage-style '60s Jazz Bass single-coil pickups delivers the articulate, punchy and highly versatile sound that has made the Jazz Bass a staple across rock, funk, soul, blues, pop and studio work for decades.

This Pre-Owned example is in Excellent condition, weighs an actual 9.32 lbs, and includes a gigbag.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

The Vintera II '60s Jazz Bass is designed for players who want the feel and response of an early Fender Jazz Bass without stepping into Custom Shop or vintage-instrument territory.

The slim Jazz Bass nut width and early-'60s neck profile give the instrument an immediately comfortable feel, while the 7.25" radius and Vintage Tall frets preserve the traditional character of the design.

Tonally, the two single-coil pickups provide everything from deep neck-pickup warmth through aggressive bridge-pickup definition to the familiar scooped character created by running both pickups together.

DETAILED FEATURES & BENEFITS

Alder Body

The alder body provides the balanced response, punch and clarity long associated with classic Fender basses.

It works particularly well with the dual single-coil Jazz Bass configuration, allowing each pickup's character to remain clearly defined.

Fiesta Red Finish

The Fiesta Red gloss finish gives the bass one of Fender's most recognisable vintage-inspired colour schemes.

Combined with the Mint Green pickguard and rosewood fingerboard, it creates a strongly early-'60s aesthetic.

Early-'60s “C” Maple Neck

The maple neck uses an early-'60s “C” profile, designed to recreate the comfortable shape associated with Jazz Basses from that period.

It provides enough substance to feel traditional without becoming overly bulky.

Slab Rosewood Fingerboard

The slab rosewood fingerboard is an important vintage-inspired detail and contributes to the classic look of the model.

Its dark appearance contrasts particularly well with the Fiesta Red body and Mint Green pickguard.

7.25" Fingerboard Radius

The traditional 7.25" radius provides the rounded fingerboard feel associated with vintage Fender instruments.

Combined with Vintage Tall frets, it maintains period-style ergonomics while still allowing comfortable modern playing.

20 Vintage Tall Frets

The Vintage Tall frets provide slightly greater height than traditional small vintage frets while maintaining a narrow profile.

This helps preserve the classic feel while making fretting and articulation comfortable.

Vintage-Style '60s Jazz Bass Pickups

Two vintage-style single-coil Jazz Bass pickups provide a warm, woody and dynamic response.

The neck pickup produces a fuller and rounder bass tone, while the bridge pickup introduces additional midrange definition and articulation.

Independent Volume Controls

Separate Volume controls for the two pickups allow them to be blended in virtually any proportion.

This is one of the Jazz Bass design's greatest strengths, allowing subtle changes in pickup balance to produce noticeably different tones.

Master Tone Control

The passive Master Tone control allows the upper frequencies to be rolled back for warmer vintage sounds or left fully open for maximum definition and attack.

Vintage-Style Bridge

A 4-saddle vintage-style bridge with threaded steel saddles provides individual intonation adjustment while retaining a traditional Fender appearance.

Reverse Open-Gear Tuners

The vintage-style reverse open-gear tuning machines reinforce the early-'60s character while providing straightforward and reliable tuning adjustment.

9.32 lbs Actual Weight

This individual bass weighs an actual 9.32 lbs, giving buyers a precise indication of how this particular example will feel rather than relying on a generic catalogue figure.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The Fender Vintera II '60s Jazz Bass is particularly well suited to players who want traditional Fender feel, vintage styling and classic passive Jazz Bass tones.

It works equally well for experienced bassists, recording players and musicians moving up from more modern or entry-level instruments.

PLAYING STYLES & APPLICATIONS

The Jazz Bass design is exceptionally versatile and works well for rock, funk, soul, blues, pop, indie, jazz, R&B and studio work.

Blending both pickups gives the familiar articulate Jazz Bass response, while favouring the neck pickup produces warmer and fuller sounds.

The bridge pickup can add extra midrange focus for fingerstyle playing, more aggressive articulation or tones that need to cut clearly through a mix.

HOW IT COMPARES

Vintera II Jazz Bass vs Player Jazz Bass

The Player series takes a more contemporary approach, while the Vintera II focuses much more strongly on period-correct feel and styling.

The Vintera II adds features such as the 7.25" radius, early-'60s neck profile, vintage-style hardware and period-inspired pickups.

Jazz Bass vs Precision Bass

A Precision Bass uses a single split-coil pickup and generally produces a thicker, more direct sound.

The Jazz Bass has two pickups and independent Volume controls, giving it a wider variety of tones and a slimmer nut width.

Vintera II vs Vintage Jazz Bass

A genuine early-'60s Jazz Bass is a valuable vintage instrument.

The Vintera II is designed to capture many of the visual, playing and tonal characteristics of that era in a modern production instrument.

FAIR DEAL MUSIC EXPERT VERDICT ★★★★★

Best suited for: Players looking for authentic early-'60s Jazz Bass feel, classic Fender styling and versatile passive bass tones.

Customers usually upgrade from: Squier Jazz Bass models, Fender Player-series basses and entry-level passive instruments.

Most commonly paired with: Clean bass amplifiers, compression, mild overdrive and classic-style bass rigs.

Our tip: Don’t automatically run both pickup controls fully open. Slightly reducing either pickup can shift the phase relationship and midrange response, giving you a surprisingly wide range of usable tones.

Showroom feedback: The Vintera II '60s Jazz Bass gets very close to the feel of a traditional vintage-style Fender without becoming difficult to live with. Fiesta Red, rosewood and Mint Green also make this one of the strongest-looking combinations in the range.
