Explanation
A highly sought-after 1966 Jazz Bass with a bound fingerboard!
The Jazz Bass remains a standard among bassists worldwide. Even now, more than 60 years after its debut in 1960, it continues to be loved by many players without having undergone any major stylistic changes. The year 1966—immediately following Fender’s acquisition by CBS in 1965—is considered a “transitional period” marked by rapid specification changes, making it a year that garners enthusiastic support in the vintage market.
This instrument features paddle tuners, neck binding, and block position marks, reflecting the specifications from the second half of 1966. The neck date is “7OCT66A (=1966),” and the pot date is “304-64 (=1964).” The pickup configuration features a black bobbin on the front and a gray bobbin on the rear. Since this was a transitional period for parts, such a mix was not uncommon. Although the pickup dates are illegible, based on the condition of the solder, we have determined that both are original. The bridge has been replaced with a more recent model, and the body has been refinished.
Its sound is notable for the strong attack of the low strings. While 1966 Jazz Basses are generally characterized by a relatively modern sound for the 1960s, this particular instrument stands out for its especially aggressive tone. We highly recommend this to bassists looking for a “lifetime instrument they can rely on on stage”!
