Fender 1966 Vintage USA 4-String Jazz Bass - Sunburst Gloss Finish w/Case USED
Here is a rare and beautiful 1966 Fender Jazz Bass in a 3-tone sunburst gloss finish! Fender is the most recognizable and collectable brand when it comes to vintage guitars/basses!
In 1960, Fender introduced a new line to their already strong bass catalogue – the Deluxe Model, later renamed the Jazz Bass. It focused primarily on tone, aiming at bass players who wanted to be more noticeable in the mix. Get more finesse with your tone with this bass.
Notable users include Geddy Lee, John Entwistle, Noel Redding, Marcus Miller, and many more.
This bass is used but in very good condition for its age and for being used! Everything is working and tested as it should! There are some cosmetic wear/imperfections throughout the bass, but nothing major that would affect the sound or performance. The frets are still in great shape and have plenty of life left. Low action and with a balanced weight. The playability is great and very comfortable! Comes in its (looks to be original) black case.
*It looks like one tone potentiometer has been replaced and based on the time stamps, the other pots look correct and everything else looks period correct as well.
**Truss Rod can be easily turned and the saddles can be easily adjusted and everything can be adjusted to your liking. Ours is cleaned up, setup and adjusted already so you are good to go!
