Fender Vintera III Early '70s Jazz Bass RW 3-Colour Sunburst

More bite and presence from a Jazz Bass

The Fender Vintera III Early '70s Jazz Bass leans a bit more forward than its early '60s counterpart, with extra bite and clarity that suits players who need to be heard in a denser mix. It’s a strong fit for rock, funk, and anything where the bass needs to carry more presence rather than just sit underneath.

The alder body keeps things balanced, while the 34" scale gives you a solid, defined low end that holds together when you’re playing with a loud band. The early '70s C neck is still comfortable but feels a touch more substantial than the Early '60s model, and the bound fingerboard with block inlays gives it that distinct look and feel from the era. The 7.25" radius and vintage tall frets keep things controlled and familiar for groove-based playing.

The two single-coils give you that classic Jazz Bass control over how the instrument sits. Run both pickups for a tighter, more focused sound, or favour the bridge pickup when you need extra attack to cut through guitars.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this Vintera III Early '70s Jazz Bass suits players who want a Jazz Bass that pushes forward a bit more in the mix without losing versatility.
