The Fender Vintera III Early ’70s Jazz Bass captures the unmistakable style, feel, and tone of one of Fender’s most celebrated eras. Built with an alder body and a maple neck, this bass delivers the balanced punch, warmth, and clarity that defined countless recordings throughout the 1970s. Fender paid close attention to the details that made the original instruments so iconic, including the bound fingerboard with block inlays, vintage-style hardware, and period-correct appointments throughout. Whether finished with a maple or rosewood fingerboard, the Vintera III Jazz Bass delivers a true vintage-inspired playing experience that feels instantly familiar. 

The early ’70s “C”-shaped neck provides a comfortable and broken-in feel that makes this bass exceptionally playable up and down the fingerboard. Its vintage-inspired 7.25" radius and vintage tall frets create a smooth playing surface that feels authentic to the era while still offering excellent control for modern players. The slim profile sits naturally in the hand, making long rehearsals, recording sessions, and live performances feel effortless. Combined with the classic offset body design, the Vintera III balances comfortably whether seated or standing on stage.

At the core of the Vintera III Early ’70s Jazz Bass is a pair of vintage-style early ’70s single-coil pickups designed to recreate the articulate growl and woody warmth that made the Jazz Bass legendary. These pickups deliver tight low end, punchy mids, and crisp highs that easily cut through a mix while maintaining the dynamic response players love from vintage Fender basses. From smooth fingerstyle grooves to aggressive pick attack and slapping techniques, this bass offers the versatile sound and unmistakable character that helped shape decades of music history. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
