Description
For players who want the style and sound of the Fender’s golden era, we created the Vintera® ’70s Jazz Bass®. Equipped with the coveted features that defined the decade – including period-accurate neck profile and playing feel, along with re-voiced pickups – this bass has all the growl that made the J Bass® famous.
For authentic tone we re-voiced the pair of single-coil Jazz Bass pickups to sound more like the originals. Gritty and growling, they have the tone that made the J Bass popular. The “’70s C”-shaped neck has a 7.25″-radius bound fingerboard with pearloid block inlays and 20 vintage-style frets for classic playing feel. A vintage-style, 4-saddle bridge with threaded saddles and ’70s vintage-style stamped open-gear tuning machines offer original-era aesthetics, rock-solid performance and tuning stability. Other features include 34″ scale length, chrome hardware and 4-bolt neck plate. Includes a deluxe gig bag.
