The 70s Jazz Bass Spirit, Revisited by Fender Japan
From the "Made in Japan Traditional" series, this model pays tribute to the 1970s Jazz Basses: a thicker neck profile, white pearloid block inlays, and a striking look. Japanese craftsmanship is distinguished by its precision and meticulous finishes, offering a faithful and reliable reinterpretation of a studio and stage icon for five decades.
For Which Musicians and Styles?
Versatile and immediately familiar, this Jazz Bass suits intermediate to expert bassists seeking a responsive instrument for funk, soul, rock, jazz, or disco. Its playability remains accessible to motivated beginners who want a bass to accompany them for a long time, from rehearsal rooms to the stage.
Sound Characteristics
The pair of single-coil pickups delivers the Jazz Bass DNA: clarity, precise attack, and scooped mids. The bridge pickup provides bite and definition to cut through the mix, while the neck pickup offers warm, rounded lows. The ash body adds brightness and projection, the maple neck ensures a lively attack, and the rosewood fingerboard softens the overall tone. The 4-saddle vintage-style bridge promotes sustain and tuning stability. The Volume/Volume/Master Tone wiring allows precise shaping of the pickup balance without a selector switch.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Install 34" long scale bass strings with gauges .045-.105 (nickel or stainless steel depending on your preference) to maintain proper tension and scale length. Add a standard leather or nylon strap, a clip-on tuner, and a 6.35 mm TS instrument cable. A universal bass stand will secure the instrument. A gig bag is already included.
