Description
The Fender Vintera III Early '70s Jazz Bass Rosewood in Black brings that bold early '70s aesthetic with block inlays and binding, paired with classic Jazz Bass punch. The black finish with parchment guard keeps it clean and unmistakably vintage. If you are after articulate low end with strong midrange presence that cuts through a mix, this one delivers in a big way.
Built with an alder body and a maple neck carved into an Early '70s C profile, it has a comfortable, substantial feel without being bulky. The 7.25 inch radius round-laminated rosewood fingerboard features binding and pearloid block inlays, staying true to early '70s styling. The pair of Vintage-Style Early '70s single-coil Jazz Bass pickups provide tight, punchy lows and focused mids with clear top end detail. The traditional two volume and one tone control layout keeps blending simple and effective. The 4-saddle vintage-style bridge with slotted steel saddles adds solid sustain and reliable intonation.
Vintage-style open-back tuning machines, bone nut, and nickel chrome hardware complete the period-correct build. The 34 inch scale length gives you that familiar Jazz Bass tension and clarity that sits perfectly in a band mix. We like this one because it captures the look and tone shift of the early '70s while staying true to the core Jazz Bass formula.
