Up for sale, a 2000 Fender Jazz Bass ‘62 vintage reissue model JB62-58 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This “Crafted in Japan” Jazz Bass was produced for the Japanese domestic market and is uncommon outside of its country of origin.
Tonewoods include a basswood body, maple neck, and slab rosewood fretboard, and this bass has a smooth, balanced natural acoustic response. There’s plenty of midrange presence and articulate growl on tap via the pair of single coil pickups, and rolling off the Tone knob yields round thump. This JB62-58 weighs 9lbs 3oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-105 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.
