Description
Some tones just work, and the vintage Jazz Bass sound is one of them — that mix of warmth, a little edge on the attack, and mid growl that cuts through a mix without shouting. The 70/74 takes that classic recipe and stretches it across five strings, so your low B gets the same character your G string always had.
- Coil geometry and winding reworked specifically for extended-range basses, not just a wider version of the 4-string design
- Hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets for that organic, slightly compressed vintage push
- Forbon flatwork construction, true to the original build methods
- Vacuum wax potted to kill microphonic squeal on stage or under hot lights
- Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA
- Ships with black covers, sized to fit traditional Fender 5-string Jazz Bass routs
Heads up if you’re running a modern Jazz V: this cover size won’t drop into that body without modification — grab the 67/70 model instead for a proper fit.
For bridge position use, where you want that punchy, present edge that still keeps its low-end footing. Pair it with a matching neck pickup and you’ve got the full vintage J-Bass conversation, just five strings deep.
