Up for sale, a 1995 Fender Jazz Bass '62 vintage reissue model JB62-58 in exceptional, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. An early Fender Japan model, this "Made in Japan" Jazz Bass was produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market and select international territories, uncommon outside its country of origin.
With a basswood body, maple neck, and slab rosewood fretboard, this Jazz Bass has a balanced, smooth acoustic quality. Plugged in, the pair of single coil pickups deliver a touch of aggressive growl, ample midrange presence and burp, and low end authority. This Jazz Bass weighs 9lbs 5oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, comfortable action, and spot-on intonation.
