The neck was narrower at the nut, providing a faster and more effortless feel and the sleek new body style mirrored the offset contoured style of the Jazzmaster®. By 1966, evolution of the instrument reached new heights with striking new features.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass features a comfortable \"U\" shape hard rock maple neck, and it plays like a dream with a 7.25\" radius round-lam rosewood fingerboard and vintage tall frets. Characteristic of production in 1966, this J-Bass® is offered with white neck binding, pearl dots, two volume controls with master tone, matching painted headstock and 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard. The 4-saddle bridge with threaded saddles, vintage-style \"lollipop\" tuners and Pure Vintage '66 Jazz Bass pickups deliver classic thump and style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw.
