Up for sale, a 1983 Fender Jazz Bass ‘62 vintage reissue model JB62-75, outfitted with a pair of Seymour Duncan SJB-2 Hot Jazz Bass pickups and complete with a hardshell case. Produced in the second year of Fender Japan production, this "Japanese Vintage" (JV) series bass is a rare model, with the majority of examples sold only to the Japanese domestic market. Vintage-spec touches include a pencil-dated neck heel, long-stem clover-button tuners and spiral bridge saddles.
Weighing 9lbs 2oz, tonewoods include a resonant alder body and a maple neck capped by a slab rosewood fingerboard. The upgraded Seymour Duncan Hot single coils add extra output to the classic Jazz Bass voice, with plenty of midrange growl and burp, top end detail, and fundamental power. Rolling back the Tone knob yields a pillowy, thick thump that retains definition. This JB62-75 Jazz Bass has been professionally set up here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-105 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.

A hardshell case with a zippered exterior is included.
