Description
There’s a reason bassists keep chasing that ’70s Jazz Bass sound — dual single-coils fighting each other for space in the mix, a neck that lets your hand relax into old-school phrasing, and just enough grit to cut through a dense band mix. Squier’s Vintage Modified Jazz Bass ’70s hands you that formula without the vintage price tag or the vintage headaches.
The slim “C”-shaped maple neck wears a vintage-tint gloss finish and sits over a black-bound, 9.5″ radius maple fingerboard — 20 medium jumbo frets under classic black block inlays, the kind of look that says “this bass has stories.” The soft maple body keeps things light on your shoulder through a long set, and the pair of Fender-designed single-coil Jazz Bass pickups gives you that push-pull tone: growl from the bridge, thump from the middle, or blend them for the full ’70s stew via the twin volumes and master tone.
Hardware stays true to the era too — a 4-saddle standard bridge, open-gear tuners, knurled chrome knobs, and a 3-ply black pickguard that frames the whole thing without shouting for attention. It’s a straightforward, road-ready instrument that rewards players who dig in with their fingers or attack with a pick.
