About this model:

The original 1978 Fender USA Jazz Bass is a true late-'70s classic, renowned for its punchy tone, exceptional sustain and unmistakable CBS-era styling. Finished here in the timeless 3-Tone Sunburst, it typically features a solid ash body, maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard, black block inlays and white binding, along with the distinctive three-bolt Micro-Tilt neck and bullet truss rod adjustment. Dual vintage-style single-coil pickups deliver the unmistakable Jazz Bass sound, from warm, rounded lows to bright, articulate bridge tones.

Late-'70s Jazz Basses are particularly sought after for their bridge pickup placement, which sits slightly closer to the bridge than earlier models, producing a tighter, brighter attack that became synonymous with funk and slap bass. While these instruments are often heavier than their 1960s counterparts, they're prized for their powerful tone, rock-solid construction and iconic vintage Fender character.
