Fender have impressed us with this New Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass Guitar in Sea Foam Green in Bass, it’s in stock, and ready to ship with fast, reliable delivery across the UK, Ireland, and Europe. For more details within Bass, additional Bass Guitars options, full specifications, demos, images, videos, and secure online ordering, read on below.

Building on the success of their acclaimed American Vintage and Original ranges, Fender’s revamped American Vintage II Series takes things up a notch! Comprising dozens of remarkably precise recreations of timeless Fender designs, these guitars are built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes, and meticulously-voiced, year-specific pickups. The American Vintage II Series painstakingly pays tribute to the revolutionary instruments that altered the course of popular music forever, with each model capturing the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.

When 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 shape of the Jazzmaster. By 1966, evolution of the instrument reached new heights with striking, fresh features.

The American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass features a comfortable “U”-shaped 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 and a 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.

Key Features

  • Gloss Nitro Finish — Nitrocellulose is a famously thin, vintage-style lacquer that allows the instrument to breathe for beautiful resonance. It ages nicely too, yielding an organic “played-in” feel that wears naturally over time.
  • Pure Vintage ’66 Single-Coil Pickups — Deliver punchy and pronounced tones that are perfect for all playing styles, from picking to slapping!
  • 4-Saddle Bridge — An innovation that has stood the test of time; allowing for precise action and intonation adjustment.
  • “U”-Shaped Maple Neck — A unique, period-correct neck profile adorned with vintage tall frets for “Golden Era” playability.
  • Vintage-Style Case — Rugged black hard case is included, offering excellent protection. It features a vibrant orange interior too!
  • Made in Corona, California — All American Vintage II guitars are constructed in Fender’s main California factory; the beating heart of Fender craftsmanship.

Stuff About Bass Guitars

Bass guitars form the backbone of a band’s sound, sitting between rhythm and harmony to give music depth, weight, and movement. Available in electric and acoustic forms, they focus on delivering strong, controlled low frequencies while remaining clear and responsive to playing dynamics. Factors like scale length, string type, and pickup design all influence tone and feel, allowing bass guitars to suit a wide range of styles and techniques. Whether laying down solid grooves or exploring more melodic lines, a good bass guitar anchors the music and brings everything together.

Stuff About Electric Bass Guitars

Electric bass guitars provide the low-end foundation that supports rhythm, harmony, and groove within a band. Designed for clarity, punch, and control, they translate string vibration into a focused, amplified signal that locks in with drums and drives the music forward. Different scale lengths, pickup configurations, and electronics influence feel and tone, from deep, rounded lows to tight, articulate attack. Whether used for simple supportive lines or more expressive playing, electric bass guitars are essential for shaping the feel and energy of a track.
