Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Fender’s left-handed American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass is a four-string alder model with an offset double-cutaway body and a hard rock maple U-profile neck. Its 1.5-inch bone nut and 7.25-inch bound rosewood fingerboard retain the narrow, vintage-style neck layout, with 20 vintage-tall frets. Two Pure Vintage ’66 single-coil pickups connect to individual volume controls and a master tone, allowing the balance between pickups to be changed directly at the instrument. White binding, pearloid dots, a painted headstock and a four-ply pickguard carry through the 1966 styling.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Changing the blend between two single-coil pickups from the bass’s separate volume controls.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
