Up for sale, a 1990 Fender Jazz Bass Fretless ‘62 vintage reissue model JB62-60FL in 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. This early “Made in Japan” fretless Jazz Bass was crafted at the Fujigen factory, uncommon outside of its country of origin.

Weighing 8lbs 8oz, tonewoods include a basswood body, maple neck, and slab unlined rosewood fretboard. The pair of JB-Vintage single coil pickups deliver plenty of growl, burp, and cut, throaty and punchy with the Tone rolled off and the neck pickup favored. This Jazz Bass JB62-60FL benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, with 45-100 D’addario Chromes flatwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.

The three-tone Sunburst finish shows a bit of faint vertical checking, with light buckle scuffing on the back, and some dings and finish scratches, largely on the lower bout edge. The gloss finish on the neck is smooth and clean, with light wear along the carve that doesn’t distract the palm.

A vintage black tolex hardshell case is included.
