View Full DescriptionLegendary pickups for your future sound
In the 1960s, Fender changed the game. The Jazz Bass became a favourite amongst working musicians for its premium appointments and versatile sound. Now, you can carry on that legacy. From blues to pop and everything in between, two Pure Vintage pickups bring versatile, rounded tone to your playing. Built for authenticity, the single coils boast warm lows that are tight and articulate. Whether you’re up high or down low, every note will sing with crisp, clear resonance. And with two volume and two tone controls, you have simple yet effective control of your high end.
Authentic playability
You can’t beat the classics. But you can perfect them. The 60th Anniversary Jazz Bass delivers era-specific playability for you, the modern bassist. It’s ideal for any style of player, from traditional jazz to contemporary pop thanks to the ability to riff with ease on a “U”-shaped neck that’s been sculpted for enhanced hand positioning. And you’re sure to hit the right note. Vintage tall frets on a bound rosewood fingerboard ensure that your finger work is precise and comfortable, adding a resonant warm full of sustain along the way. It’s easy to perfect your performance with a legend at your hands.
Stay in tune
You’ve brought your A-game. You're playing with passion and accuracy. Now you need your bass to do its part as well. Well, rest assured because everything you play on this bass will be accurate and precise. At the hands of Pure Vintage reverse open-gear tuning machines, your strings will be held in tune. So stressful re-tuning mid-song will become a thing of the past. A bone nut also provides pitch-perfect intonation and string stability which means no more buzzing or dampening of your tone. Plus, you have a reliable four-saddle vintage-style bridge with threaded steel saddles. How’s that for vintage excellence?

An instrument of such individuality needs protecting. Which is why it comes with a deluxe hardshell case. Take your cherished, limited edition instrument on the road, with the peace of mind that it’ll be in pristine condition every time you play.
