Fender Vintera III Early '70s Jazz Bass Candy Apple Red

The Fender Vintera III Early '70s Jazz Bass captures the unmistakable tone and style that defined Fender basses during the early 1970s. Part of the Vintera III series, this model delivers a faithful recreation of the era’s punchy, articulate Jazz Bass sound while preserving the vintage feel and aesthetic that players continue to love decades later.

Built around an alder body and maple neck with a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, this bass produces the clear, balanced response that made the Jazz Bass a staple across countless genres. The Early ’70s “C”-shaped neck profile feels comfortable and fast in the hand, while the bound fingerboard with vintage white pearloid block inlays adds a distinctive visual touch associated with the era. A 7.25" radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets provide a smooth, traditional playing feel that keeps the instrument true to its roots.

A pair of vintage-style early ’70s Jazz Bass single-coil pickups delivers the signature blend of punch, clarity, and warmth that made the J-Bass famous. From deep, supportive lows to growling midrange articulation, this pickup set captures the dynamic character that works equally well on stage or in the studio. A vintage-style four-saddle bridge with steel barrel saddles ensures solid sustain and dependable intonation, while vintage-style open-back tuning machines and classic Fender appointments complete the authentic early ’70s look.
