Up for sale, a 1986 Fender Jazz Bass ‘62 vintage reissue model JB62-80 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This early and upscale “Made in Japan” Jazz Bass was crafted at the venerable Fujigen factory during the golden age of Fender Japan production, uncommon outside of its country of origin. Vintage-correct touches include long-stem clover button tuners with full-size baseplates, spiral (threaded) saddles, cloth-covered wiring, and a pencil-dated neck heel.
Tonewoods include an alder body, maple neck, and slab rosewood fretboard, and at 8lbs 10oz, this instrument has plenty of sustain and a balanced, smooth acoustic quality. Plugged in, the pair of JB-Vintage single coil pickups deliver a touch of aggressive growl, ample midrange presence and burp, and focused low end power. This Jazz Bass benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.

-Tuners: Clover button, long stem, reverse-geared (vintage-spec)
-Serialization: “Made in Japan”, E-prefix
-Factory Markings: Neck heel pencil dated 10-31-86, blue “80” sticker on back of headstock denotes model tier and price in Japan (¥80,000)
Body Specs:
-Wood: Alder

-Controls: Volume x2, Tone

The gloss Sunburst finish shows light buckle rash on the back, a bit of pick wear across the tortoise guard, and minor dings on the body, largely relegated to the lower bout. The ambered gloss on the neck profile is clean and smooth with just a couple shallow marks.
A Fender-branded gigbag is included.
