Nel 1974 il Jazz Bass subì delle sostanziali modifiche. Il pickup al ponte era stato spostato di circa 1,3 cm verso il ponte solo l’anno precedente e il 1974 segnò la scomparsa del manico a quattro bulloni, che riapparve solo molti anni dopo. Inoltre, il sottile manico in acero a forma “C” fu riscolpito con un più corposo profilo a U (con l’aggiunta di una “skunk stripe” in noce), la tastiera con filettatura bianca e i segnatasti rettangolari in perla fecero la loro prima apparizione, vennero adottati per la prima volta i dadi del truss rod “a proiettile” della tastiera e i battipenna neri sostituirono i loro predecessori di lunga data in tartaruga.
L’American Vintage ’74 Jazz Bass racchiude tutte queste caratteristiche ed è l’unico modello della nuova serie American Vintage bass che offre la possibilità di scegliere tra tastiera in acero o in palissandro con laminatura smussata, entrambe con filettature bianche, segnatasti rettangolari in perla e 20 tasti stile vintage. Fra le altre caratteristiche originali ricordiamo corpo in ontano con finitura in uretano (frassino sul modello con finitura Natural), battipenna a tre strati nero/bianco/nero (a tre strati bianco/nero/bianco sul modello Black), nuovi pickup a bobina singola American Vintage ’74 Jazz Bass, appoggia pollice installato più in alto, ponte stile vintage con sellette “circolari” a scanalatura singola, meccaniche open-gear stile anni ’70 targate “Fender”, piastra ferma manico a quattro viti con marchio “F”, pickup cromato e copri ponte contrassegnati dal marchio “F” con posizionamento realmente vintage e molto altro ancora. Disponibile in Three colors Sunburst , Olympic White, Black e 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.
