Up for sale, a 2002 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 made exclusively for the Japanese domestic market and is uncommon outside of its country of origin, featuring custom color Lake Placid Blue finish.
This bass weighs 8lbs 10oz with a basswood body, maple neck, and slab rosewood fretboard. The pair of JB-Vintage single coils deliver midrange presence and articulate growl, and rolling off the Tone knob yields a broader, rounder sound.
