The early '70s \"C\"-shape neck profile feels immediately familiar, finished with binding and block inlays, a 7.25\" radius fingerboard, and vintage-tall frets that reward traditional playing technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eTwo vintage-style early '70s single-coil pickups sit at the heart of the instrument, reproducing the warm, woody clarity that made the Jazz Bass® a studio and stage staple across five decades. A 4-saddle vintage-style bridge locks in solid intonation and sustain, while period-correct tuning machines keep you in tune through long sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp
