Fender Vintera III Early 60s Jazz Bass Aztec Gold

Legendary Jazz Bass Tone in the Style of the Early '60s!

The Fender Vintera III Early 60s Jazz Bass combines the authentic feel and signature sound of classic Fender basses with precise, reliable craftsmanship for stage, studio, and rehearsal room.

Authentic Materials and Classic Core Tone

The alder body delivers the well-known Fender tone with clear attack, defined articulation, and a punchy foundation. Paired with the maple neck it produces a direct, lively sonic character that holds its own across a wide range of styles. The rosewood fretboard adds a warm, pleasant note to the sound and supports a smooth playing feel across the entire scale length.

Early '60s Neck Profile with Familiar Vintage Feel

The Early 60s C neck profile is closely modeled on historical originals and feels comfortable in the hand. The 7.25" fretboard radius delivers that classic vintage playing feel, while the vintage-tall frets support precise fingering and comfortable playability. The result is an instrument that feels traditional yet plays with control and confidence.

Jazz Bass Tone with Punch, Warmth, and Clarity

At the heart of this model is a pair of Vintage-Style Early 60s single-coils. They deliver exactly the blend of punch, clarity, warmth, and woody character that the Jazz Bass has been prized for for decades. Individual notes stay clean and defined, lines cut through clearly, and even complex grooves retain structure and depth. From tight fingerstyle passages to articulate pick playing, this pickup setup gives you a versatile, instantly recognizable bass tone.

Vintage Hardware for Stable Playability

The vintage-style 4-saddle bridge supports reliable intonation and solid sustain. The concept is rounded out by vintage-style tuners that deliver tuning stability and an authentic overall aesthetic. Together with the classic construction, it results in an electric bass that is visually, sonically, and playably tuned to the spirit of the early '60s.
