Fender Vintera '70s Jazz Bass 3-Colour Sunburst 2020 Electric Bass

This is a Fender Vintera ‘70s Jazz Bass in 3-Colour Sunburst finish. Made in Mexico in 2020, this bass consists of an Alder body, a Maple neck, and a 20-fret Pau Ferro fingerboard. Other appointments include a 4-Saddle American Vintage Bass bridge, Fender ‘70s Vintage-Style Stamped Open-Gear tuners, a Synthetic Bone nut, and a set of Vintage-Style ‘70s Single Coil Jazz Bass pickups that are wired to two volume controls, and a tone control.

The Maple neck plays very well, with the ‘70s ‘C’ profile filling the hand nicely for a substantial yet articulate playing experience across the register. The ‘shoulders’ of the profile feel a little broader than some of Fender’s other ‘C’ profiles, which adds a sense of dependability and character to the instrument. The neck binding and block inlays are a rather unique twist for a Fender instrument, providing a sense of exclusivity whilst helping you stand out from the crowd. The smooth lines of the offset Jazz Bass body are as comfortable in the arms as ever, providing uninhibited access to the upper register and feeling nicely balanced in both standing and seated positions.

Amplified, the pair of Fender Vintage-Style ‘70s Jazz Bass single-coil pickups deliver thick and full bodied bass tones, with plenty of deep lows and a driving mid range that is sure to lay a solid foundation in any mix. The middle position is of course nicely round and warm, whilst the bridge position is bright and spanky, perfectly capturing all of the attack and sparkle from your playing. The independent volume controls allow you to blend the pickups in any combination for a wide range of tones. Great Fender playability in a unique & vintage-inspired package.
