The Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass in Olympic White is a meticulous recreation of one of the most refined and influential bass designs in Fender history. Available at Sky Music Australia, this model captures the spirit of the original with period-correct construction, premium materials, and era-specific pickups that deliver the unmistakable tone and feel of a true mid-’60s Jazz Bass. From its sleek offset body to its vintage-inspired appointments, this instrument stands as a tribute to Fender’s golden era.
Originally developed as a more sophisticated and streamlined alternative, the Jazz Bass quickly became a favourite for its narrower nut width and fast, effortless playability. This 1966-spec version features a comfortable “U”-shaped maple neck, bound round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, and vintage tall frets, offering a smooth and responsive playing experience. The addition of white binding, pearloid dot inlays, and a matching painted headstock reflects the distinctive style upgrades introduced during this era.
