Squier Vintage Modified 70s Jazz Bass Guitar, Olympic White

The American Original Series guitars from Fender captures the classic vibe of their legendary guitars of bygone decades, with modern features, components, build technology, and feel. The solid body electric bass guitar was invented by Leo Fender with the introduction of the Precision Bass in 1951. Following on from the success of the P-bass, Fender introduced the Jazz bass in 1960. Notable for it's slightly narrower neck, offset waist body, and two single coil pickups, the Jazz Bass has stood the test of time to become one of the most played and recorded instruments in musical history having been chosen by such world-renowned bassists as Jaco Pastorius, Marcus Miller, Victor Bailey, Sting, Flea and Rush frontman Geddy Lee. When the 1970s came around, Funk and Disco were all the rage, and Fender made tweaks to the Jazz bass to accommodate new laying techniques like slapping.

The Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass '70s is designed to bring you the classic feel and tone of that '70s Jazz Bass at a great price. With a pair of Fender-designed single-coil Jazz Bass pickups, you'll feel right at home grooving with this bass in your hands, thanks to the "C"-shape neck with 20 medium-jumbo frets. The value-packed Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass '70s is an excellent entry/intermediate-level instrument for any bassist.
