Product Description
The Fender Vintera III Early '70s Jazz Bass in 3-Colour Sunburst delivers the unmistakable look, feel and sound of a classic Seventies J Bass in a reliable modern instrument. With its period-correct neck profile, vintage-style pickups and timeless offset styling, it is built for players who want authentic Fender character with rock-solid performance night after night.
Featuring an alder body, gloss maple neck and a pair of vintage-style early '70s single-coil Jazz Bass pickups, this Vintera III model serves up all the punchy, articulate and woody tones that made the original a studio and stage staple. From tight, defined fingerstyle lines to growling bridge pickup bite, it is a hugely versatile workhorse that feels instantly familiar under the hands.
The early '70s C-shaped neck with a 7.25 inch radius fingerboard and vintage-tall frets delivers that classic Fender feel, encouraging a relaxed left-hand position and smooth movement up and down the neck. Traditional block inlays and binding complete the unmistakable Seventies aesthetic, while the vintage-style 4-saddle bridge and open-gear tuners keep things stable and responsive.
Whether you are chasing period-correct funk and soul tones, classic rock low end or a characterful bass for modern styles, the Vintera III Early '70s Jazz Bass gives you the sound and vibe of a sought-after vintage instrument in a dependable, gig-ready package.
Authentic Early '70s Jazz Bass Feel
The early '70s C-shaped maple neck with a 7.25 inch radius fingerboard and vintage-tall frets recreates the feel of a genuine Seventies Jazz Bass. The rounded profile sits comfortably in the hand, while the tighter radius and fret size make it easy to dig in for expressive bends, vibrato and dynamic fingerstyle playing.
Vintage-Style Early '70s Single-Coil Pickups
A pair of vintage-style early '70s single-coil Jazz Bass pickups provide the punchy, articulate and warm tones that defined countless classic recordings. Solo the bridge pickup for snarling growl, lean on the neck for fuller, rounder lows, or blend both for that iconic scooped Jazz Bass sound that cuts through any mix.
Classic Alder Body and Gloss Finish
The alder body delivers a balanced tonal foundation with clear mids, tight lows and a touch of top-end presence, ideal for sitting perfectly in a band mix. Finished in a gloss polyester 3-Colour Sunburst with a 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, it nails the look of a well-kept vintage original while being tough enough for regular gigging.
Vintage-Style Hardware and Layout
A 4-saddle vintage-style bridge with single-groove steel barrel saddles offers precise intonation and solid sustain, while the open-back tuning machines give smooth, reliable tuning stability. The classic dual volume and master tone control layout keeps everything intuitive, letting you shape your sound quickly on stage or in the studio.
