Fender Alternate Reality Sixty-Six - Daphne Blue - Floor Model
|
Fender Alien Mashup
Throughout their history, Fender has occasionally had fun mixing and matching different components to create "parts-casters" that never were, but should have been: this is the Alternate Reality Series' raison d'être. The specimen under examination here is the Alternate Reality Sixty-Six. Classic Fender tone meets cool visuals in the Sixty-Six, which makes a radical statement with its down-sized, offset-waist Jazz Bass body. And a flexible HSS pickup configuration cranks out everything from fat, snarling leads to funky rhythm sounds. Sweetwater's take: Combining vintage-inspired appointments with modern, player-centric features, the Sixty-Six delivers an arsenal of unique tones you'll find useful for any music genre.
Classic Fender tone and playability
Engineered for iconic Fender tone — with an added edge for today's guitarists — the Player Series humbucking bridge pickup is complemented by a pair of chimey Player Series Tele single-coils in the neck and middle positions. A 5-way selector switch gets you all the tones you need from this unique pickup set. The vintage-style 6-saddle Synchronized Tremolo vibrato bridge/tailpiece provides reliable pitch expression while keeping your tuning solid. The comfortable Modern C profile neck sports a 9.5"-radius maple fingerboard and 22 medium-jumbo frets for fluid playability.
