Fender American Vintage 74 Jazz Bass Olympic White RW

General

The widely praised Fender American Vintage series is one to watch. Many models of the Americans' rich guitar heritage are nowadays reissued as part of the American Vintage series in such a way that all of their finesse and details are maintained. This is the Fender Olympic White American Vintage 74 Jazz Bass. Even though it is brand new, straight out of the factory, it is still packed with unmistakable 1974 character.

Fender American Vintage 74 Jazz Bass: materials and construction

Since its introduction in 1960, the Jazz Bass has been the subject of numerous revisions. This '74 model, too, has seen many alterations. For instance, its neck has a U-profile, whereas it used to be C-shaped, and its gauge increased to provide a different, more solid grip. The rosewood fretboard features pearloid block inlays which, in combination with the black pickguard, used to be quite the novelty. All of these aspects are accurately represented on the American Vintage '74 Jazz Bass. Its body is made of alder, which is light yet durable and capable of fully resonating both the high and low tones.

Custom made

It may be clear that this bass guitar is made with great care and dedication. The registration of your play happens in style by two specially Fender-designed single-coil pickups that clearly brandish the '74 tonal signature. The well-known combination of warmth and punch is still present on this guitar and its two volume controls and tone knob allow you to keep control over the output. Over the American Vintage Bass bridge, Fender fitted a chrome-plated cover, sporting a striking Fender F. Also, this guitar features a thumb rest and a chrome-plated hand rest above the second pickup. The American Vintage 74 Jazz Bass is a characteristic bass guitar that truly does the Fender brand proud.
