The Fender ® American Vintage II series is not only visually inspired by the historic designs that have made music history. We have also faithfully reproduced many period-specific details: bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes, as well as pickups that have been carefully tuned to match the tone of the original model year. Thanks to traditional Fender craftsmanship, every instrument embodies the authentic character and sound of its respective original model.


Don Randall at Fender Sales was not content to rest on his laurels. He pushed for the development of a modern, high-end bass. The result was the Jazz Bass ®, which is now regarded as an icon. The neck was narrow at the nut, allowing for fast and fluid playing. The body was also slimmed down and given the famous ‘offset’ waist and the contours of the Jazzmaster ®. By 1966, the instrument’s evolution had reached its peak.


The American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass, with its hard rock maple neck in a substantial U-profile, offers plenty of substance for the fretting hand. Vintage tall frets sit on the 7.25” round-lam rosewood fingerboard. Typical of the 1966 production year, this J-Bass ® features white neck binding, Perloid dots, ‘lollipop’ tuning machines, two volume controls with a master tone control, a colour-matched headstock and a four-ply tortoiseshell pickguard. The strings run over four threaded string saddles, whilst the sound is delivered by two Pure Vintage ‘66 Jazz Bass pickups.


The American Vintage II series brings back classic Fender models in their original form. Ideal for musicians who love our vintage tone and the feel that goes with it, and who appreciate the highest quality – right down to the very last screw. Fender American Vintage II. The stuff legends are made of.

Fender gilt als einer der größten Hersteller und Wegbereiter der Solidbody-Gitarren. Als Schöpfer der Telecaster und Stratocaster schuf Gründer Leo Fender Meilensteine in der Geschichte elektrischer Gitarren und damit einen Kult. Schon der Name Fender genügt, um im Gehirn Melodien, Erinnerungen und Emotionen zu erzeugen. Wer eine Fender Telecaster oder eine Fender Stratocaster hört, dem kommen sofort legendäre Songs wie "Purple Haze" von Jimi Hendrix , "Smoke on the Water" von Deep Purple, "Cocaine" von Eric Clapton ins Ohr. Eine lange Geschichte steht ebenso hinter den berühmten Fender Amps. Leo Fender hat mit dem Bau von Gitarrenverstärkern bereits angefangen, bevor er die ersten Gitarren baute. Diese waren natürlich in Röhrentechnik gebaut, Fender begann erst in den späten 60er Jahren mit solidstate Modellen...
