Fender Vintera III Early '70s Jazz Bass RW Black

Punchy, clear and built to be heard

The Fender Vintera III Early '70s Jazz Bass leans into a more forward Jazz Bass sound, with enough bite and definition to hold its place when a mix starts getting busy. It suits players who need the bass to speak clearly, whether that means tighter fingerstyle lines, picked parts, or grooves that need a bit more attack behind them.

The alder body keeps the response balanced, while the 34" scale helps the low end stay solid and even. The early '70s C neck has a comfortable feel with a bit of substance to it, and the bound rosewood fingerboard with block inlays gives it that unmistakable look from the era. The 7.25" radius and vintage tall frets keep things feeling familiar, especially if you like a bass that feels settled rather than overly modern.

The two single-coils give you plenty of control over where the bass sits. Run both pickups for a tighter, more even sound, or favour the bridge pickup when you want extra definition to cut through guitars and drums. At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Fender Vintera II Early '70s Jazz Bass suits players who want a Jazz Bass that feels classic but has enough presence to handle louder bands and busier arrangements.
