Rooted in one of the most influential bass designs ever created, the Vintera III Early ’60s Jazz Bass captures the moment when Fender refined its groundbreaking offset bass into a studio and stage staple. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this Sonic Blue beauty channels the unmistakable look, feel, and tone that helped define countless recordings across genres — from Motown and jazz to rock and modern indie.

Built with an alder body and a maple neck topped with a slab rosewood fingerboard, this Jazz Bass delivers a rich, articulate voice with a perfect balance of warmth and clarity. The early ’60s “C” neck profile paired with a 7.25" radius offers a comfortable, vintage-inspired feel that invites fluid movement across all 20 frets. Whether you’re laying down tight grooves or exploring melodic runs, the playability is smooth, responsive, and unmistakably Fender.

At its core, dual vintage-style early ’60s single-coil pickups provide the signature Jazz Bass tonal palette — punchy lows, growling mids, and crisp highs. The stacked concentric controls allow for precise blending of each pickup’s volume and tone, giving players a wide range of expressive sounds. From warm, rounded fingerstyle tones to cutting slap and pick articulation, this instrument delivers classic versatility with timeless style.
