Fender Made in Japan Heritage ’70s Jazz Bass – Natural

The Fender Made in Japan Heritage ’70s Jazz Bass recreates the look, feel, and tonal character of a mid-1970s Jazz Bass with a strong emphasis on period-inspired specifications. Finished in Natural, it pairs an ash body with a maple neck and maple fingerboard for the bright, articulate response commonly associated with ’70s-style Jazz Bass instruments.

The neck features a 1975 “U” profile, 7.25" fingerboard radius, 20 vintage-size frets, and a narrow 1.5" bone nut. White pearloid block inlays complete the distinctly 1970s appearance, while the 34" scale length retains the familiar Jazz Bass feel.

A pair of Premium Vintage-Style ’70s Jazz Bass single-coil pickups delivers clear attack, defined lows, and the open midrange character expected from a traditional passive Jazz Bass. The classic dual-volume and master-tone control layout keeps operation simple and familiar.

Vintage-style hardware, including a 4-saddle bridge and Pure Vintage ’70s tuners with Fender logos, completes the period-inspired design.
