FenderVintera III Early '70s Jazz Bass - Rosewood Fingerboard, Candy Apple Red
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Candy Apple Red gives this Vintera III Early ’70s Jazz Bass a strong visual match for its bound rosewood fingerboard and pearloid block markers. Underneath, the alder offset body, maple neck and round-laminated rosewood fingerboard form the platform for two vintage-style early-’70s Jazz Bass single-coils. Separate pickup volumes and a master tone make neck, bridge and blended settings easy to reach. With its closer bridge-pickup placement, the bass is voiced for a tighter response with more attack and definition.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live performances and longer playing sessions that benefit from the offset body’s seated and strap-worn balance.
- Funk and fusion work where the early-’70s pickup voice supplies articulate bite and bridge-pickup definition.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this version is listed in a right-handed orientation.
