About the Fender Classic Series '70s Jazz Electric Bass (Rosewood, with Gig Bag)
Fender's '70s Jazz Bass captures the essence of the decade; defined by striking cosmetics and a bright, full sound. The '70s saw the repositioning of the bridge pickup (closer to the bridge), creating a brighter tone that cuts through the mix. The biggest cosmetic upgrade came in the form of gorgeous block inlays and neck binding, which are highly sought after by many bass players.

After a quick setup this bass plays absolutely great. The stock pickups are a bit tinny for my taste, but are very similar to an authentic 70's jazz. I recommend some aftermarket split-coil pickups, a blend pot to replace one of the vol pots, and some sort of varitone type device. I get such a great range of sounds out of this passive bass, no hum, no batteries to fool with... Regardless of these mods, this bass plays beautifully. They are a bit expensive for a Mexican J bass, but the quality and playability (and, of course, the look) make the price acceptable. 4.5 stars on most ratings... it's really great and i'd buy one again if i had to, but it's not... like... a 'perfect 10.'
