Yes but these 70's Classics do not have standard MiM Keys. They have the Vintage Reissue set or the Hipshot HB-2 equivalent hence the BT-2 D-Tuner. If you look closely you'll see the keys on our 70's classics are larger than the standard MiMs.

Hey guys.

Does the neck plate on the back have the Fender "F" on it?

There is one for sale around here but there's no "F" on the neck plate.

Nope...at least mine didn't. Until I put one on, that is. These are just such killer basses, they deserve a nice looking neck plate.

+100........I just ordered one of these for mine. These Classic 70's are so nice that a plain neck plate looks out of place. The 70's theme is so well represented Fender should have included one.

Classic 70's Jazz Bazz

I'm thinking about a pickup swap for my Classic 70's Jazz. Looking at Aguilar 70's & Nordstrand 70's. I could use some help, suggestions/opinions on these or other pickup options. Thanks.

Went into the local GC and was looking at the used basses. I saw this on the wall and took it down and played. Spent about two hours a/b numerous old and new basses. This spoke out for sure. And the plus? Got it for $449.00 plus tax. I went ahead and did a setup, and switched the bridge out for a B.A. I had.

Do any of you know if the body on this model has the 'valley of impending death' rout or can it be used without a pickguard? I can't remember what mine was like (traded it a while back).

Does this bass count?

The body is from a Fender Classic 70's Jazz bass and the neck is off of a new Fender Antigua Jazz Bass (70's type neck but with dots instead of blocks).

Do you have the opposite parts assembled (70s block neck, antigua body)? Please say yes, that would look incredible!

Will any 10-hole replacement Fender jazz bass pickguard fit these basses? I'm thinking of purcashing a black pickguard to go with the black bass.

I'm not for-sure on this, (and i dont mean to sound like a jerk) but I think this was asked/answered somewhere in this thread. Pickguard issues come up often enough in this thread. Maybe grab a beer and cruise the responses.

Well, I've read through the posts twice and I see little mention of which guards actually fit this bass.

I went to basspartsresource.com and had to go with the "after market" B/W/B because the only Fender-made options were either not available in black or had the truss rod notch at the heel. The guard I bought, attached, doesn't fit.

Anyway, if anyone knows where to get a B/W/B guard that will fit this bass let me know.

Or if one of you kind "Sunburst & Tort" gentlemen wanna sell me your unused black guard I would much appreciate it.

The bass is smokin', by the way! Most resonant bass I've ever owned. I could not be happier with it.
