1999 Fender Jazz Bass '62 Vintage Reissue JB62 Electric Bass Guitar Black, Japan CIJ

Up for sale, a 1999 Fender Jazz Bass '62 vintage reissue in exceptional, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This 1962 reissue Jazz Bass (officially model JB62-58) was made only for the Japanese domestic market, thus rarely seen outside its country of origin. The fit and finish of the "Crafted in Japan" instruments rivals Fender's American Vintage line, and both acoustically and plugged in, this Jazz Bass is an impressive instrument with a smooth, resonant natural acoustic response. Weighing 8lbs 8oz, the bass has plenty of midrange presence and articulate growl, and rolling back the tone control yields ample thump. Professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar and strung with roundwound 45-100 strings, this Jazz Bass plays well with comfortable action and spot-on intonation.The one-piece maple neck has a medium C shaped profile carve at the nut with lightly rolled fretboard edges and round shoulders in every register, measuring .850" deep at the 1st fret and .950" at the 12th. The rosewood fretboard is a particularly dark and tight-grained cut with a vintage 7 1/4" radius and slender fretwire that's practically perfect with its full factory height and well-rounded crowns. The bass conforms to traditional Fender spec with a full 34" scale length and comfortable 1 1/2" wide nut. On the headstock, the original clover button chrome tuning machines are intact, and the lightly ambered peghead sports the correct '62-style Fender Jazz Bass decal. The "Crafted in Japan" text and P-prefix serial are present just above the four-bolt neck plate.All of the electronics work as they should, the chrome hardware is notably clean, and the original plastic parts are equally as well-kept. The gloss Black finish shows only a few exceedingly faint finish scratches in the clear coat of the gloss on the body as a whole, with a few small dings on the lower bout body edge and back treble-side waist. The gloss-finished ambered neck profile is flawless.A like-new well-padded Ritter gigbag is included.
