I prefer the 60's, seems like it would sit better in a mix, with an overall more balanced sound. This kind of comparison is as good as it gets, thank you so much!
What a fantastic demo, Bart FUNK Bass! The huge amount of work required for a two and a half minute video showing side-by-side A/B sound samples on the same bass is staggering. But what a great comparison. The 60s is rounder and thicker at the bottom end, with a lovely slightly overdriven tone, while the 70s is twangier, thinner at the bottom, tighter at the top, with more high mids pushed forward, probably going to punch through a mix more. Both fantastic sounds, but less of a difference than I'd imagined there to be. Both great tones.
I use both era’s. The 70’s jazz sound is better for what i do (slap, chords, and soloing). Even in a full band setting i love the sound of a 70’s jazz. Even with all that, my 60’s has a warmer sound and just overall more (pleasant). I couldn’t have just one or the other. Great video!
I love both! Compared to the 60s, the 70s has more hi mids and treble, more "metallic" sound. Some people say that he is shrill. IMHO i think that the 70s are perfect for slap (neck/bridge pickups all the way up) and the 60s are perfect for pizzicato and for fretless basses.
Awesome video! I've got a Jazz Bass Special (with PJ pickups), and love its hi-fi tone, with a present treble that cuts in the mixes without effort, which is unique in the PJ class. I read somewhere that one of the "secrets" of its unique sound is the Jazz pickup in 70's position. I came across your video and now I have a real comparison that gives solid evidence to that. Thank you so much!
@@BartFunkBass you won't regret it. A Jazz Bass Special or another model with Jazz neck, and J pups in 70's position if you like that crispy open tone or in 60's if you prefer it more mellow, they give you a unique tone and growl, less "burpy" but with a strong bottom end, you'll like it. And still you can select a Precision sound as a bonus :) I've played PJ basses since day one and I feel so satisfied! Thanks!

@@BartFunkBass never played in this one, but looks beautiful, probably plays awesome.

Anyway you know you can't go wrong with a Fender. They have been making awesome stuff.
@@vinisasso I've got the Player Plus JAZZ BASS V about which I recently recorded a video (check it out). The neck on this series is spectacular, and I write this as a person who has small hands. If the 5-string Jazz is comfortable for me, the P will be fine! Also the rolled neck edges make it even more easier to play. I wouldn't spend twice as much for American Ultra, there is no point of that.
Thanks for this great comparison. I recently bought a new Fender US jazz pro II with 60’s pickup spacing but I didn’t know this difference. Now after 4 months, I noticed this difference and since I love slapping, I fell in love with 70’s jb. So, I feel kind of regret about it. I wish I knew that before I bought my bass. If there is someone here in EU who has a 70’s but prefers a 60’s I’m ready to swap mine.
Ha! It took lots of years for me to realize that the sound of a Jazz Bass I am looking for depends on a pickups spacing. I already had Fender American Series Jazz Bass with an alder body and a rosewood fingerboard. I thought that when I'll get the ash/maple one it will instantly sound like a Marcus Miller. Althought, ash/maple is a great 70's combo for slap, the key factor is the pickups spacing. It is really weird that there aren't many comparison videos, and the fact Fender and other brands making Jazz Basses don't admitt which pickups spacing they offer. The 'butchery' as some would call, I did with this bass was the only option for me to have an authentic 70's sound on a budget. It's a $1000 bass with a $150 luthier's work put into it. Of course, I've tested Fender American Original 70's Jazz Bass which I think has been in production since 2018. However, the "U" neck profile on those reissue basses makes them unplayable for me. Unfortunately, all the new Japanese reissues which finally come with a correct spacing have a "U" neck profile also. The easiest way to get that sound on a budget would be getting a Sire V5.
I think I should consider buying a Sire V5 as you suggest. In this way, I would have two options in hand for both finger playing and slapping. Thanks again for your great comparison and also for the thorough explanation and advice.
@@BartFunkBass Today I got a Sire V5 (as you suggested) as well as a Fender Am original 70’s jb to make a comparison and decide what to keep and what to return. What I interestingly noticed was that the bridge pick up in Sire V5 is even closer to the bridge as compared to the original 70’s. The U neck profile of the original 70’s is not a big issue for me but what I don’t like about it is the noise coming from the single coil pick ups. Although it is a common issue with the single coil pick ups, neither my pro II jb nor the Sire V5 have that much of noise. Sire V5 on the other hand, convinced me in all aspects from the tonality to playability and look etc. I’m kinda suprised by the quality of V5 in that price range. Thanks for your suggestion.
@@BartFunkBass Thx! Would be nice to hear what's better in the mix. I guess the 70's cuts better through because it's more detailed and aggressive sounding. What's your experience?
damn, the 60s sounds way more fuller, with more low end and with a ton more growl compared to the 70s, the 70s doesn't sound bad (I own a 70s style JB so I love it and I know the sound very well lol) and it is way more brighter and snappy but it is less "growly" and IMO sounds better with flats as it does tame the high end a lot because otherwise the bass with new strings sounds VERY bright, crazy how just 1cm makes a ton of difference I love both for different reasons
I like the sound of the 70s much better. I have both with very similar electronics ash/maple hipshot hardware. The bass that I get compliments on practically every time I bring it to a gig is my Moon JB5 and it has the 60s spacing. I don't know if I should be happy about that. People tell me that is my "signature" sound. Oh well, I suppose it is LOL
i tend to prefer bright sound (also because cab tend to muddy the sound a bit except if you play on some really clean hifi gear like a hartke or EBS 410 but its a pain to carry around) so 70s to me. bridge pickup it depend entirely on the pickup. but i've had way more 70s jazz bass with a really thin bridge pickup that needed a lot of eq to get back to life. in that sense. the 60s might be safer. my favorite 70s jazz bass is the fender 1983, it had a killer sound and aesthetic too. but that being said my favorite slap sound was a lakland 44 with 60s spacing but EMG pickup. hearing it you would think its a marcus miller bass.
I would love to put EMG J set to one of the basses, but I want to keep a vintage style tones in basses I have. Maybe in the future I'll buy a Jazz Bass just for mods 😊✌️
@@BartFunkBass i have a 10 years old squier 70s that have been catching dust in a corner for years. in the near future i plan to mod it to hell, new bridge, new tuner and emg pickups. for the vintage sound i'm keeping a Xotic pro vintage. its not my favorite 70s jazz but it does the job. i rarely play it now because the single coil hum is a pain in the ass but its still nice to have.
@@champ6436 I've had a 5-string Squier Vintage Modified and this bass was great as is. I've read before that it's a great platform for mods. But after I plugged in, I didn't want to change anything. I regret selling it. Also, lightest 5-string bass I've ever had in my hands.
I rooted an MM pickup 1 cm closer to the bridge than the standard because the bass already had a p pickup in the middle position. It's also a big difference to a standard MM tune and yes it's great to slap even with steel flatwounds on the bass
@@BartFunkBass No, in a Yamaha TRBX 174 PJ-Model. I routed the J hole neckwards so that there is 1 cm wood between the upper P hole and the MM hole. The P pickup is Dimarzio and the MM is SD ceramic. I use the two pickups completely separately and play steel flatwounds on it. The MM-PU and the strings are essentially the Joe Dart I combination. I even use the same Amp as he did in the demo video. But the bass sounds from the pickup differently, because of this 1 cm.
i have always wanted to try this on my 60s jazz bass moving the bridge pickup backwards to match the 70s bridge pickup, how much does it cost in total to move the bridge backwards and will there be a noticeable difference in the paint that has been covered on the wood of the bass guitar??
70s sounds more Rickenbackery ala Geddy Lee. Although I think his had a bad bridge pickup for a while so it’s probably mostly in the neck pickup for him. 60s sounds a lot better with a pick I think and a little less harsh slapped.

Yes. I wanted to have a 70's style Jazz Bass without spending a few thousand dollars for a real one. Unfortunately, the US and Japan reissues have "U" shape neck, which is unplayable for me. This bass was made in Japan in 1993-1994, and it has a super fast "C" shape neck. The only thing Fender Japan did wrong was a pickup spacing, which is the most important factor for 70's Jazz Bass sound. Even the later models made in the late 90's and early 2000's have the same "issue", which is a 60's pickup spacing.
Thank You for listening! The only 5-string Jazz Bass made by Fender was discontinued Marcus Miller model. Bummer! Now if you want the 70's spacing you have to go with active Sire Marcus Miller V7 Vintage or a passive V5.
Excellent experiment. Maybe now it's obvious for everyone how much pickup spacing influences tone! It's such a shame that these japanese reissues were almost period correct apart for the pickup spacing(most important aspect for a 70's J IMO).

I have a 70s jazz that I never really liked, and I am starting to think that Leo got it right the first time. The 70s has a nasally hi-mid character that just isn't really pleasant, and sounds thinner. Also the bridge solo'd on the 70s is unusably thin so it's no good for Jaco either.

I have a 70s jazz that I never really liked, and I am starting to think that Leo got it right the first time. The 70s has a nasally hi-mid character that just isn't really pleasant, and sounds thinner. Also the bridge solo'd on the 70s is unusably thin so it's no good for Jaco either.
I agree with the last sentence. I don't use soloed bridge pickup on the 70's spacing. It doesn't sound right.
Same pickups?
Yes.
larry graham when its 60's , marcus miller when its 70's
True!
60's warmer sounding. 70's more Scooped..
✌️✌️✌️
60's better
Thanks for listening!
I should sell my 70s jazz.
Don't do it!!
I have bought a Fender am pro ii with 60’s PU positioning. However, I love 70’s JB. Let’s swap them if you like more of 60’s style :)
@@majidalizadeh9354 haha thanks for the offer, but I have a Fodera with 60s pickup positions! I’m happy with my basses.
I didn't like neither
