Fender Vintera III Early 70s Jazz Bass Black with Gigbag The Fender Vintera III Early 70s Jazz Bass: Focused Punch with Vintage Vibe Alder Body Balanced Tone and Mix Ready Response

The alder body delivers a balanced response with clear lows, defined mids, and a focused top end. Notes come through with strong fundamental and controlled warmth, making it easy to sit in a mix without getting lost. It has the direct, punchy character expected from a 70s era Jazz Bass.

Early 70s C Neck Comfortable and Consistent Feel

The maple neck features an early 70s C shape that feels solid and familiar without being bulky. The 7.25 inch radius and vintage tall frets provide a traditional playing surface that supports clean fretting and smooth position shifts. The bound fingerboard with block inlays adds both visual identity and a classic feel across the neck.

Dual Single Coil Pickups Articulate and Versatile

The pair of vintage style early 70s single coil pickups deliver clear articulation with a warm low end and defined attack. Blending the two volumes gives access to a wide range of usable tones, from round and supportive to more aggressive and cutting, without losing clarity.

Vintage Style Hardware Reliable Performance

The 4 saddle vintage style bridge provides solid intonation and consistent sustain, while vintage style open back tuners offer stable tuning with a traditional feel. The control layout keeps everything straightforward and effective, letting you dial in tone quickly.

Built for Vintage Look with Modern Consistency

Gloss finishes on both body and neck give it a classic appearance while maintaining durability. Every detail stays true to the early 70s design while delivering the consistency expected from a modern instrument.
