American Vintage '74 Jazz Bass®

Modelo : 0191030

En 1974 se pusieron en marcha cambios importantes para el Jazz Bass. La pastilla de puente se había movido media pulgada hacia el puente justo el año anterior y 1974 presenció los últimos mástiles de cuatro tornillos durante mucho tiempo. Además, el mástil delgado de arce en forma de C se volvió a esculpir con un perfil más grueso en forma de U (y adquirió una franja de "mofeta" de nogal), aparecieron por primera vez el ribete blanco en el diapasón y las incrustaciones en bloque perladas, se adoptó por primera vez la tuerca del alma en forma de balín para la pala y los golpeadores negros sustituyeron a sus predecesores tradicionales de carey.

El American Vintage ’74 Jazz Bass engloba todas las características nombradas y es el único miembro de la nueva línea de bajos American Vintage que ofrece una selección de diapasones de palo rosa laminado y arce, cada uno con ribete blanco, incrustaciones en bloque perladas y 20 trastes estilo vintage. Otras características distintivas incluyen un cuerpo de aliso con acabado de uretano (fresno en el modelo de acabado Natural), golpeador de tres capas negro/blanco/negro (tres capas blanco/negro/blanco en el modelo Black), nuevas pastillas single-coil American Vintage ’74 Jazz Bass, apoyo para el pulgar instalado en la parte inferior, puente estilo vintage con selletas de acero con ranura simple cilíndricas, clavijero abierto con el logo “Fender” estampado estilo años 70 , placa de unión al mástil con cuatro tornillos y la “F” estampada, pastilla cromada y cubiertas para el puente con la “F” estampada con preciso posicionamiento vintage, entre otras cosas. Disponible en Three-color Sunburst, Olympic White, Black y 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.
