Up for sale, a 1986 Fender Jazz Bass ‘75 vintage reissue model JB75-80 in excellent, 100% original and in perfect working order. This “Made in Japan” Jazz Bass was crafted at the Fujigen factory during the golden era of Fender Japan production, featuring a white ash body, maple neck and bound rosewood fretboard with block inlay.

Weighing 10lbs 12oz, the bass offers a natural fundamental punch and sonic authority. The low end is thick and focused, with a present upper midrange burp and treble-centric grind. The bridge pickup has clarity and growl, balanced by the fuller thump of the neck position single coil. This JB75-80 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-105 roundwound strings, comfortable action, and accurate intonation.

The Yellow White finish approximates an aged Olympic White, with subtle additional yellowing of the clear coat and two faint "tan lines" from previously removed stickers on the back. Cosmetic wear is otherwise limited to a handful of minor dings along the body perimeter and on top adjacent to the bridge. The neck profile retains its smooth ambered gloss, with light palm wear along the skunk stripe and a few shallow marks along the profile length that are not distracting to the palm while fretting.

A Fender gigbag is included.
