1993 Fender Jazz Bass Order Made '62 Vintage Reissue, Seafoam Green w/ Headstock, Japan MIJ Fujigen

Up for sale, a 1993 Fender “Order Made” Jazz Bass '62 vintage reissue in perfect working order, finished in Seafoam Green with a matching headstock. This Jazz Bass was produced during the golden age of Fender Japan production at the Fujigen factory as part of the “Order Made” program which offered a bevy of non-catalog upgrades.Tonewoods include a basswood body and maple neck capped by a jet black slab rosewood fretboard. The stock pickups are warm and clear, with a sweet midrange character and articulate growl. The treble response is crisp and detailed, and rolling off the Tone knob delivers ideal breadth and thump. This bass weighs 8lbs 9oz, professionally setup here at Mike & MIke’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 strings, comfortable action and spot-on intonation.The maple neck has a medium C-shaped profile carve with well-rounded shoulders and a gentle increase in overall heft further up the fretboard, measuring .830” deep at the 1st fret and .975” at the 12th. The thick slab rosewood fretboard is an extremely dark, tight-grained cut with a vintage-spec 7 1/4" radius. The stock slender frets retain their full factory height with moderate wear on frets 1-4 and progressively lighter wear under the A and D strings on frets 4-8. This bass plays cleanly up the 34” scale with a straight neck and a responsive, optimally-adjusted truss rod. The stock bone nut measures 1 1/2” in width. On the Seafoam Green headstock, the clover button tuners turn smoothly and hold accurate pitch, with full-size baseplates and a light dusting of patina on their nickel plating. The “Made in Japan” text and Q-prefix serial number are present above the four-bolt neck plate, and the bass has matching Order Made markings on the neck heel and in the pocket.All of the electronics work as intended, with the pickups wired to two original full-size Japanese pots dating to 1993. The central pot is a vintage replacement from the same Japanese manufacturer, dating earlier than the instrument (1989). Hardware includes the bridge and control plate, both of which have clean chrome plating. Plastics comprise the original trio of knobs and three-ply white pickguard.The gloss Seafoam Green finish is an exceedingly rare option, and the clear coat has lightly aged, with a few tan lines of previously removed stickers. Cosmetic wear includes buckle rash central to the waist on the back, various dings on the body perimeter, and some scattered finish scratches and minor marks on the body as a whole. The ambered gloss on the neck profile highlights light flame figuring in the maple, clean and smooth with a few small marks on the profile shoulders behind frets 2-3.A gigbag is included.
