With a neck that was more narrow at the nut, it allowed for faster and more effortless playing, while the sleek new body shape borrowed it's contoured offset style from the Jazzmaster. By 1966, the evolution of the Jazz Bass had broken new ground with fantastic new features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecreating the classic tone and feel of the original, the American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass features appointments characteristic of production in 1966, such as a 1966 \"U\"-shaped Hard Rock Maple neck with a 20-fret, 7.25\"-radius round-laminated Rosewood fretboard, a Pure Vintage 4-saddle bridge with threaded saddles, vintage-style \"lollipop\" machine heads, and a period-accurate finger rest. Driven by a specially voiced pair of Pure Vintage '66 Jazz Bass pickups, the American Vintage II Precision Bass delivers the classic thumping tone that made it a time-honored classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe instruments in the American Vintage II collection are direct relatives of the original Fenders - designed for players who greatly appreciate vintage Fender tone and performance constructed with unparalleled quality, down to the last screw.
