Das Jahr 1974 hielt für den Jazz Bass bedeutende Änderungen parat. Nur ein Jahr zuvor wurde bereits der Stegtonabnehmer um einen guten Zentimeter näher am Steg platziert und für die vierfach geschraubten Hälse sollte 1974 für eine ganze Weile das letzte Einsatzjahr bleiben. Weiterhin wurde der schmale Ahornhals im „C“-Profil in ein dickeres „U“-Profil umgeformt (und erhielt einen „Skunk“-Streifen aus Walnuss). Zum ersten Mal gab es ein weißes Griffbrettbinding und Blockeinlagen in Perlmutt. Die „Bullet“-Halsstabmutter gab ebenfalls ihren Einstand und schwarze Pickguards ersetzten ihre seit langer Zeit zum Einsatz kommenden Vorgänger aus Schildpatt.
Der American Vintage ’74 Jazz Bass bietet natürlich all diese Raffinessen und ist das einzige Modell in der neuen American Vintage Bass-Familie, das ein Griffbrett aus Ahorn oder ein Palisandergriffbrett in „Round-Laminated“-Ausführung bietet. Alle beide sind mit weißem Binding, Blockeinlagen aus Perlmutt und 20 Bünden im Vintage-Style erhältlich. Zu den weiteren authentischen Ausstattungsmerkmalen zählen ein Erlenkorpus mit Urethan-Finish (Esche beim Modell mit Natural-Finish), ein dreilagiges Pickguard in Schwarz/Weiß/Schwarz-Optik (dreilagiges Pickguard in Weiß/Schwarz/Weiß-Optik beim Modell in Black), neue American Vintage ’74 Jazz Bass Single-Coils, eine weiter oben angebrachte Fingerablage, ein Steg im Vintage-Style mit „Barrel“ Gewinde-Stegeinlagen, mit „Fender“ Prägung versehene, offene Stimmmechaniken im Stil der 1970er-Jahre, eine vierfach geschraubte Halsplatte mit geprägtem „F“ Logo, verchromte Abdeckungen für die Tonabnehmer sowie eine verchromte Stegabdeckung mit aufgeprägtem „F“ Logo und historisch korrekter Platzierung und noch vieles mehr. Erhältlich in Three-Color Sunburst, Olympic White, Black und Natural.

I've not played this particular model. I currently own the older incarnation of this model which is the American Vintage 75 Reissue Jazz Bass. It's one of my favorite basses I own, the craftsmanship is second to none (It's better than any real 70's Fender Jazz Bass I've played), and the sound is huge and spot on to the era. This is due in part to the bridge pickup location, which is a little closer to the bridge than the standard or '60s jazz bass. My only problem with the instrument is that it's not a dead on reissue. It's a very close replica. It's little things like the logo design, the serial number location, and the fingerboard/inlay choices available. Minor things that don't really affect playability, construction, or someone who just wants a great instrument.
Now on to this instrument:
Essentially anything that made the 75 reissue cost more than a standard jazz bass was eliminated all short of the block inlays. The 3 bolt neck with tilt function and the bullet truss rod. In my eyes, this is what made the 75 jazz bass truly stand out in adjustability standards. It could be set up easily, quickly and perfectly every time. Now anytime a set up is necessary on this the neck must go on and off. This is a real pain for anyone who lives in a climate that varies quite a bit.
There was also the strange redundancy between Fender USA and Fender Japan where they were both making a 75 reissue. The Japanese model was even further from a true reissue in that the pickups were in the '60s position.
Don't get me wrong, I love how this looks, and it probably sounds just as good as my 75 reissue. I only wish that instead of making this, they expanded the colors of the '75 reissue. The only ones available before were natural ash with either a maple fingerboard with black blocks and binding, or a rosewood board with pearloid blocks and white binding. Would have preferred a maple board with pearloid inlays like the neck here, but that's splitting hairs. Great bass no matter what it looks like.
