Our Take:
The Fender American Original ’60s Jazz Bass takes its cues from the very first Jazz Bass – released in 1960 – which became an immediate favorite amongst bass players. The Fender American Original ’60s Jazz Bass features a beautifully tapered neck for increased ease of access, a pair of Pure Vintage ’64 single-coil pickups for incredible ’60s-esque tone, and a run of super stylish vintage finishes to complete the package.
Fender’s Take:
Released in 1960, the upscale Jazz Bass quickly found favor among working bassists thanks to its premium appointments and versatile sound. The narrower neck seemed tailor-made for fast, dexterous playing, while the pair of single-coil pickups added a bold new dimension to Fender bass tone. The American Original ‘60s Jazz Bass has all the tone and style of its earliest incarnation, with modern playability.
