Product Description

The Fender Vintera '70s Jazz Bass captures the spirit of a legendary instrument from Fender's golden era. Fitted with the decade-defining features found on original '70s Jazz Bass models, including a period-correct thin "C" neck profile, classy pearloid block inlays and re-voiced vintage-style pickups - this ultra-playable instrument projects all of the punchy growl that made the Jazz Bass so famous in the first place!

Classic Fender Construction

Fender has relied on its customary tonewood combinations for the Vintera '70s Jazz Bass. Sporting an Alder body, this balanced-sounding material ensures robust lows, lively mids and crisp highs - a great tonal foundation for the J-Bass single-coil pickups.

The Vintera '70s Jazz Bass' Alder body is joined with a bolt-on Maple neck, bringing out even more presence for a crisp tone when playing finger-style, slap or with a plectrum. The Pau Ferro fingerboard is another thoughtful design touch, adding some crucial lower mid-range warmth and providing a silky-smooth feel under the fingers.

Punchy Vintage-Style Pickups

For an authentic tone, the Fender Vintera '70s Jazz Bass comes equipped with a pair of punchy single-coil pickups that have been re-voiced to emit a vintage character. Projecting plenty of raspy overtones and a gritty mid-range, these single-coils also remain focused and defined in the low-end to ensure that you can really cut through in a mix.

Mr Graham Hutchins29th Jul 2019

Lovely Bass! Sounds great and plays very well out of the box. I would have preferred a maple fingerboard but i dont think they make one like that in this colour/series (yet) The choice of wood is fine tonally but it's very light in colour which might put some off. Also the finish isn't lacquer so this isn't going to "age" naturally. Why Fender, Why!!?
