Fret size on Fender Classic 70's jazz

[zeppelinbass95]

I'm rather annoyed that the squier website has more detailed and consistant specs on their website then fender, but that's a whole diffrent thread. My question is does anyone know if the 70's jazz has vintage style/size frets or are they the standard medium jumbo?

Here's the brief description from the one I have on order....
"Fender Classic Series Classic '70s Jazz Bass - alder body, '70s 'C' shaped maple neck, rosewood fretboard, 20 vintage style frets, 2x vintage style Jazz Bass single-coil pickups with alnico magnets, 34” (864mm) scale, 1.50” (38mm) nut width"

Hope that helps....mine is in the post!!

I've not got a classic series, but I do have a RW-Precision, & an Alleva-Coppolo both with 'vintage' frets & yes, I, at least, can very easily tell the difference to the other couple of 'modern' basses I have.
Far more of a ' fingers on wood ' feel.

I have the new 70's Precision (MIJ and with the block inlays and neck binding) and it has the Vintage Style Frets.

I absolutely love these frets (and the neck)!!

They are smaller (lower) and smaller in width. So smooth and nice to play. And I feel like the tone is better. Notes sound better, smoother and not so sharp as with medium jumbo frets, in my opinion.

Truth be told, from a personal taste/preference standpoint, I have never liked Medium/Jumbo frets.

I've always prefered vintage style or low and wide frets.
