Exclamation 70's Fender Jazz Bass

Sign in to disble this ad
Gone!!!!!!!

Killer 70's Fender Jazz bass. She's in pretty much new condition. Still have all of the manuals, tools, hang tags, etc.

I bought a couple of extras that I'll include with the bass:

Fender gig bag (a well padded one, NOT the cheapo version).
New flat wounds for that old-school vibe and thump.
I'll even toss in a new, unopened set of round wound strings too (in case you prefer rounds)

Priced well below the cost of a new one and comes with the extras above! Bass has one very small ding on the back (about the size of a pencil tip) and a small scratch on the front. Other than those two very minor items, she is as new. Gone!!!!!!!


Info and specs:

The Fender '70s Jazz Bass captures the essence of the decade with striking cosmetics and a bright, full sound. The original '70s Jazz Bass had a repositioned bridge pickup—moved closer to the bridge—and the flashier look of big block inlays, neck binding, and bullet truss rod. The offset waist and ultra-slim neck make the '70 Jazz Bass more comfortable to play.

Vintage-style alnico magnet Jazz Bass single-coil pickups make this Fender bass sound like its forebears. The originals were widely regarded as the best funk basses of all time, and this new Fender reissue makes a great '70s classic bass guitar available to today's bassists.

Fender '70s Jazz Bass Features:

* Alder body
* Polyurethane finish
* 1-piece maple neck
* Rosewood fingerboard with white binding
* 7.25" radius
* 1.50" nut width
* Chrome hardware
* 34" scale length
* Vintage '70s "Fender" stamped open-gear tuning machines
* American Vintage '70s bass bridge with single groove saddles
* 3-ply black/white/black or white/black/white pickguard (depending on color)
* Standard vintage alnico magnet Jazz Bass Single-coil pickups
* (middle, bridge)
* Volume/volume/master tone controls
* Fender Super Bass 7250ML, NPS strings

Agreed with what was said above. Build quality is extremely impressive. Dare I say up there with the MIA stuff. I would not say this about the other MIM stuff from a year or more ago. No BS!

Agree totally!!!! I played a Road Worn Fender Precision a few months ago and was totally blown away with the way it sounded and the way it felt. If it stays at the music store much longer, I will buy it. Mexican stuff went from cheapo to neato.

I believe vintage, but I'll double check. Good news is that I have an all original '77 that I can compare her to!

Eye-balling the frets, they look and feel about the same size as my '77 Jazz.

There is a CNC hole beneath the G string. The pickup route is clean, though. You might be able to find a body for sale on ebay with a picture. The two that I have played weighed around 8 to 8.5 pounds. I think they run kind of light.
