Up for sale, a 1991 Fender Jazz Bass ‘62 vintage reissue model JB62-550 in 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced at the Fujigen factory during the golden age of Fender Japan production, this “Made in Japan” Jazz Bass is uncommon outside its country of origin.
Weighing 9lbs 2oz, tonewoods comprise a basswood body, maple neck, and thick slab rosewood fretboard, delivering a balanced acoustic quality that translates well through the single coil pickups. The bridge pickup offers a smooth growl and distinctive upper midrange character, accentuating the top end articulation of a set of fresh roundwound 45-100 strings. The neck pickup, in contrast, has a thicker, broader tonality, with a present thump. This JB62-550 benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with easy-playing action and accurate intonation.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Maple
-Shape: Slender U, measuring .785” 1st fret, .965” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Rosewood slab, 7 1/4” vintage-spec radius, dot inlays
-Frets: Slender, leveled/crowned, no wear
-Scale Length: 34”
-Nut: 1 1/2”, bone
-Tuners: Clover button, nickel-plated
-Serialization: “Made in Japan,” J-prefix

Body Specs:
-Wood: Basswood
-Pickups: JB-Vintage single coil x2
-Harness: Untouched solder, pots date to December, 1990
-Hardware: Bridge with barrel saddles, control plate
-Plastics: Four-ply “tomato soup” red tortoise pickguard, pointer knobs
The Sunburst gloss finish exhibits minor dings and scuffs consistent with use, largely on the body perimeter, with some shallow buckle rash on the back. The ambered gloss on the neck profile is smooth and clean.
A padded gigbag is included.
