Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For a right-handed player seeking a 1966-specification Jazz Bass format, this American Vintage II model pairs an alder body with a maple 1966 U-profile neck and bound rosewood fingerboard. The passive Pure Vintage ’66 middle and bridge single-coils are controlled by separate volumes and one master tone, so the pickup mix remains immediately accessible. Its 1.5-inch bone nut, 7.25-inch fingerboard radius and 20 vintage-tall frets keep the playing surface rooted in the period. A painted headstock, four-ply tortoiseshell guard and 3-Color Sunburst finish complete the presentation.
Strong match
Who this is for
