udo Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Hi all, I own of the the newer Squier Classic Vibe 70s Jazz bass (like here: https://shop.fender.com/en-DE/squier-electric-basses/jazz-bass/classic-vibe-70s-jazz-bass/0374540506.html?rl=en_US) and find it super comfortable to play. I find that the bass body somewhat hangs more to the right (I play standing up usually) and that makes the lower notes on the fretboard really easy to play. I never played or owned a Fender Jazz bass where the distance is so short to the headstock. When I compare it to the other Fender Jazz I currently own (it's one of the Mexican Flea models in pinkish), then the difference is striking and quite pronounced. Does anyone know if that is a feature of the Fender 70s basses? Do other Fender models have a similar design? Cheers, Udo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 It sounds like this would be due to differences of the density/weight of the body so would vary for each individual bass rather than be a characteristic of each model. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
