Up for sale, a 1996 Fender Jazz Bass model JBG-70 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This uncommon, upper-tiered Fender Japan Jazz Bass had a limited production run in the ‘90s with a satin Matte Brown (catalog: MBR) finish that has a decidedly red hue, accented by gold hardware.
Weighing 10lbs 10oz, tonewoods include an ash body and a maple neck capped by a slab rosewood fretboard. The bridge pickup delivers plenty of cut and burp, with a smooth treble grind and more warmth and thickness via the neck pickup. This Jazz Bass benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and spot-on intonation.

-Wood: Maple
-Shape: Slender U at nut, more heft in upper registers, measuring .815” at 1st fret, .960” at 12th fret
-Fretboard: Rosewood, 7 1/4” vintage-spec radius
-Frets: Slender, no wear
-Scale Length: 34”
-Nut: 1 1/2”, bone

The satin Matte Brown finish has a few minor finish chips along the lower bout perimeter and adjacent to the neck heel, a small area of shallow buckle rash central to the upper bout, and a few tiny scuffs on the body as a whole. The satin finish on the neck profile is smooth and clean with just a couple minor marks.
A gigbag is included.
