Fender Vintera III Early '60s Jazz Bass, Rosewood Fingerboard, Olympic White

The Fender Vintera III Early '60s Jazz Bass is a vintage-inspired electric bass designed for players who want the authentic look, feel, and tone of early 1960s Fender instruments. Built in the tradition of the original Jazz Bass, this model suits gigging and recording bassists who appreciate classic construction, period-correct appointments, and genuine vintage character without the price tag of an original.

The bass features an alder body paired with a maple neck and a slab rosewood fingerboard with a 7.25" radius, offering warm, woody resonance and a distinctly vintage playing feel. The early '60s "C"-shaped neck profile is rounded and comfortable, starting slim at the nut and thickening gradually toward the 12th fret. Vintage-tall frets provide slightly more height than standard vintage frets for improved playability. At the heart of the instrument are a pair of vintage-style early '60s single-coil pickups voiced to deliver the punchy, articulate, and bell-like tone that defined the Jazz Bass. The 4-saddle vintage-style bridge with threaded steel saddles provides solid intonation and sustain, while vintage-style reverse open-gear tuning machines deliver reliable tuning stability with classic Fender aesthetics.

Finished in Olympic White with a slab rosewood fingerboard, this instrument presents the era-correct details that make the Vintera III series stand apart. The combination of alder body resonance, slab rosewood warmth, and vintage single-coil pickups produces a balanced and lively tone with beefy mids and robust low end — well suited to a wide range of musical styles from soul and R&B to rock and beyond.
