Classic construction
Naturally, Fender relies on the correct shapes and appointments of the wild Seventies to build the Vintera '70s Jazz Bass. With its sweeping, asymmetrical offset design, the alder body assumes a comfortable position with near-perfect balance both when standing on the strap and sitting on the thigh. The bolt-on maple neck, meanwhile, with its narrow "'70s C" profile that combines the usual 38mm nut width and a historically correct 7.25" radius (184mm), promises top-notch playing characteristics for easy implementation of classic and modern playing techniques. The 22-fret Pau Ferro fingerboard provides the dignified seventies look thanks to the large block inlays and the binding all around.
Correctly positioned Fender vintage-style '70s single coils promise an extensive range of premium bass sounds.
Vintage-style '70s pickups for authentic sounds
The electrical sound conversion of the Vintera '70s Bass is done by two Vintage-Style '70s Jazz Bass single coils, which are of course installed in the correct Seventies positions according to the historical specifications. The accurately developed on the basis of original Jazz Bass pickups of the time elicit the bass amplifier diverse vintage sounds with the authentic growl of best suitability for almost any music genre, whether funk, jazz, rock or metal. Compared to Sixties J-basses, the bridge pickup moved closer to the bridge promises a particularly wiry sound with assertive treble, while the middle pickup as usual combines abysmal bass with pleasant transparency. To control the sound, the bass guitar also has its own volume pots for each pickup and a universal tone control.
Seventies-style open Fender bass machine heads keep the bass guitar securely in the correct tuning.
Vintage style hardware
Of course, Fender completes the Vintera '70s Jazz Bass PF 3-Color Sunburst with high-quality attachments that combine accurate Vintage-Looks with reliability that meets even professional standards. With its signature construction, the proven American Vintage 4-Saddle Bass Bridge supports the bass guitar's authentic tonal character, while four separately adjustable tailpieces guarantee accurate intonation and comfortable string placement. At the opposite end of the bass guitar, vintage-style '70s stamped Open-Gear tuners with open gears also ensure accurate tuning with unshakable stability.
