Description

The Vintera '70s Jazz Bass was created for players who want the style and sound of the Fender's golden era. 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.
