It has more to do with the pickup spacing on the bridge, the '70s bridge pup is set closer to the bridge. The neck shouldn't be that different, because all JBass has a small neck.

I don't think this one really follows the small neck of the Squier VM JBass either tho...the neck on the VM really follows the 70s thin JBass but forgo the pup spacing of the 70s bass.

NP...here's from the description of the bass off the Musician's Friend site:

The Fender '70s Jazz Bass captures the essence of the decade with striking cosmetics and a bright, full sound. The original '70s Jazz Bass had a repositioned bridge pickup—moved closer to the bridge—and the flashier look of big block inlays, neck binding, and bullet truss rod. The offset waist and ultra-slim neck make the '70 Jazz Bass more comfortable to play.

Vintage-style alnico magnet Jazz Bass single-coil pickups make this Fender bass sound like its forebears. The originals were widely regarded as the best funk basses of all time, and this new Fender reissue makes a great '70s classic bass guitar available to today's bassists.
