Description
Over the course of the '70s, the Jazz Bass entered its "teenage years," changing its visual style & inspiring new playing techniques - such as slapping - which led directly to new, creative forms of expression. Its smooth feel & growly midrange, tempered with a bit of treble bite, made it a hero in recording sessions around the globe. The American Original '70s Jazz Bass updates the smooth playing feel with a modern-radius fingerboard, while retaining the classic Fender tone & style that made the Jazz Bass the tool of choice for creative bassists. Professionally set up with fresh strings & low action so it plays & sounds terrific!
