Fender Made in Japan Traditional 70s Jazz Bass RW, Candy Apple Red Overview

The Fender Made in Japan Traditional 70s Jazz Bass RW is a faithful nod to a classic era, built with Japanese craftsmanship and Fender’s unmistakable DNA. An ash body in a gloss Candy Apple Red finish gives it a striking stage presence, paired with a 3-ply eggshell guard for that unmistakable 70s vibe. It’s solid, resonant and unmistakably Jazz Bass in look and tone, combining Fender’s heritage with MIJ reliability.


Its 34" scale length, “U”-shaped maple neck and 9.5" radius rosewood fingerboard give a sturdy, confident feel that’s comfortable for long gigs. White pearloid block inlays keep the late-70s look alive, while the bone nut and vintage-size frets ensure classic playability. Two vintage-style single-coil pickups bring the growl and snap that Jazz players love, controlled with the tried-and-true V/V/T layout for endless tonal blends. With a vintage-style bridge, chrome hardware and a 3-bolt neck plate, this bass is built to gig hard and look the part doing it.

Classic 70s style

This MIJ Traditional 70s Jazz Bass nails the era’s swagger with a gloss Candy Apple Red finish, eggshell guard and white pearloid block inlays. An ash body delivers that punchy, articulate response the decade is known for, with plenty of cut in a busy mix. It looks the part under stage lights and feels reassuringly solid in the hands, channelling the vibe of the great session and stadium basses from the period without fuss

Comfortable neck and feel

A “U”-shape maple neck feels comfortable and natural for long sets, paired with a 9.5" radius rosewood board for smooth position shifts. Vintage-size frets keep the touch precise and controlled, while the 34" scale supplies taut low end and confident intonation. A bone nut helps notes ring cleanly, and the gloss urethane finish stays fast under the hand, letting you play all night without hassle

Authentic jazz bass tone

Two vintage-style single-coils bring the familiar J growl and snap: tight lows, focused mid punch and a glassy top that sits just right with drums and guitars. The classic V/V/T layout makes blending effortless. You can crank up the neck pickup for rounder thump, choose the bridge for bite, or find that scooped sweet spot where the two blend perfectly. It’s a wide, musical palette that covers soul, funk, indie and rock with ease, all with convincing 70s character

Road-ready hardware

A 4-saddle vintage-style bridge keeps things stable and intonated, while vintage tuners provide reliable, tidy tuning. Nickel/chrome hardware wears gracefully and suits the finish, and the three-bolt neck plate locks the joint down tight for consistent resonance. Strung with .045–.105 strings, it’s ready to drop into a set from the first tune-up. No drama, just a solid, giggable Jazz Bass that delivers, night after night
