Full Description

Authentic '70s styling with modern precision

The Fender Vintera II 70s Telecaster Bass captures the unmistakable aesthetic of the original decade-defining model while bringing improved craftsmanship and reliability. Finished in a stunning Surf Green gloss with period-correct appointments, it oozes vintage appeal. The classic Telecaster Bass body shape made from alder delivers a balanced tonal response, while the gloss polyester finish provides both a smooth feel and a striking visual presence. It's a bold tribute to a legendary era of bass design, built with the consistency and precision of modern Fender production standards.

Wide-Range humbucker for punchy vintage tone

At the heart of the Vintera II 70s Telecaster Bass lies a single Wide-Range humbucking pickup that gives this instrument its signature sonic character. Designed to reproduce the thick, powerful low-end that defined the original Telecaster Basses, this pickup offers warmth, dynamic response, and plenty of growl. Its voicing has been refined for improved clarity, allowing every note to cut through the mix while still delivering a deep, muscular punch. From laid-back grooves to full-bodied basslines, this pickup delivers versatile tone wrapped in unmistakable vintage flavour.

Period-correct neck feel for classic playability

The maple neck features a mid-’70s “C”-shaped profile that gives it a substantial yet comfortable feel in hand. This shape is true to the era and offers a slightly chunky grip that many bassists find reassuring and stable when locking into heavy rhythms. Paired with a 7.25" radius maple fingerboard and vintage-tall frets, the neck provides smooth playability with a classic touch. The fret height strikes a perfect balance between modern flexibility and vintage feel, allowing expressive bends and solid note articulation across the fretboard without sacrificing comfort or authenticity.

Vintage hardware with enhanced performance

Fender has equipped the Vintera II 70s Telecaster Bass with period-style hardware that stays true to its roots while improving functionality. The 2-saddle bridge with steel barrel saddles delivers excellent resonance and sustain, while also maintaining the vintage string-through-body design that adds to the instrument’s tonal richness. Open-gear tuners, stamped with the Fender logo, offer stable tuning with a classic look and feel. These thoughtful details give the bass a vintage aesthetic while ensuring it performs reliably on any stage or in any session.
