Fender American Vintage '74 Jazz Bass w/Maple Fretboard 2013/14 | Natural

The Fender American Vintage ’74 Jazz Bass is a seriously cool recreation of one of the defining basses of the 1970s, built in the USA as part of Fender’s highly regarded American Vintage series.

Finished in Natural with a maple fingerboard and classic black block inlays and binding, this one absolutely nails the mid-’70s Jazz Bass look. The combination of the ash body and maple neck gives it that lively, articulate response these basses are known for, with plenty of snap and definition when you dig in.

A pair of vintage-style Jazz Bass single-coil pickups delivers everything from deep, rounded neck-pickup warmth through to the bright, aggressive bridge-pickup growl that made the ’70s Jazz Bass such a favourite with funk, rock and fusion players.

Made in the USA around 2013/14, the American Vintage series was Fender’s premium vintage-reissue range of the period, with close attention paid to the original instruments in terms of construction, hardware, finishes and overall feel.

A beautiful modern Fender with proper vintage character — and a great option if you want the classic ’74 Jazz Bass experience without paying genuine 1970s Fender money.
