CONSIGN Fender 1971 Telecaster Bass with Case & Strap
Product Details
Brand: Fender

Unmistakably vintage, this 1971 Fender Telecaster Bass combines Fender’s bold tele-style aesthetic with a full-scale bass’s power. A transitional model released at the cusp of design changes—this instrument captures both classic roots and early ’70s innovation.

Body & Finish

  • Solid alder slab body 

  • Original 1970s finish blonde showing natural wear and patina

  • Ergonomic contours remain comfortable for extended play

Neck & Fingerboard

  • Maple neck, 3-bolt with micro-tilt neck adjustment (introduced in this generation) 

  • Maple fingerboard

  • 20 frets, standard vintage scale length for deep, full lows 

Pickups & Electronics

  • Single Coil pickup mounted centrally

  • Volume and tone controls on control plate 

Bridge & Hardware

  • String-through-body design typical of earlier Fender basses

  • 2-saddle bridge; later ’70s versions transitioned to 4 individual saddles 

  • Chrome hardware including tuners, strap buttons, and control plate

  • Micro-tilt neck adjustment system gives better control over neck relief 

Sound & Character

Expect a warm, full-bodied bass voice with vintage growl. The humbucking pickup delivers enhanced punch and headroom compared to earlier single-coil variants, while preserving articulation and clarity. It’s a bass built for both studio and stage—comfortable playing low-end foundations yet expressive enough for lead passage work.

Condition & Collectibility

  • Original finish showing natural wear—dings, checking, and patina add character

  • All components period-correct (unless noted replacement parts)

  • A rare transitional model that captures Fender’s shift in the ’70s, making it desirable for collectors and players alike
