Product Description
A veritable racecar of a bass, the Jazz Bass® guitar was born in the ’60s and became the favorite of players who put as many miles on the instrument as they did on their tour buses. The more it was used (and abused), the more it growled back and became even more comfortable. Fender’s Road Worn® ’60s Jazz Bass guitar delivers that aged look and feel. Designed with ’60s specs, including a nitrocellulose-lacquer finish, and built to look, sound and feel like it's got more than just a few miles on it.
- With vintage-style alnico-magnet Jazz Bass® single-coil neck and bridge pickups, this model remains present in the mix against drums, guitars, and keys.
- A 4-ply tortoise-shell pickguard, vintage style reverse tuning machines, and vintage 4-saddle (brass) bridge offers classic looks and performance.
- It's thin/distressed nitrocellulose-lacquer finish offers improved body resonance. Deluxe gig bag included.

I can't speak to all these instruments but when I played my RW Jazz side by side with American Standard Jazz basses and Standard MIM Jazz basses it beat them in nearly every respect. The neck on these basses really does feel "broken in", not just sanded. I've carefully sanded new necks on other instruments and the result does not feel like the smoothing and rounding performed on RW necks. The smaller vintage frets are more to my liking than the medium jumbo of the standard instruments. The thin nitro-cellulose finish on these basses feels completely different, almost organic, compared to the polyester finish on the American Standard and Standard instruments. Even the... Read more |
