Fender Road Worn '60s Jazz Bass (Fiesta Red)

Fender Road Worn '60s Jazz Bass (Fiesta Red) Overview

Fender Road Worn '60s Jazz Bass Fiesta Red Overview by GAK

A veritable racecar of a bass, the Jazz Bass was born in the 1960s and became the favourite 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 new Road Worn '60s Jazz Bass guitar delivers that aged look and feel-designed with 1960s 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.

Those who prize older instruments with the battered look of years on the road and the scars of countless gigs can still have that authentically aged vibe without spending decades on the road themselves. The irresistibly cool look of finish worn through to the wood, rusted hardware, a bruised neck and yellowing plastic parts are yours right away with Road Worn instruments. The Road Worn '60s Jazz Bass sounds, looks and feels like it's been there and back, has more than a few miles on it, and then some. With authentic 1960s styling aged to impart a lifetime of wear and tear that has somehow made it get even better, it's a must-have for the Jazz Bass player who appreciates broken-in look and vibe.
