2002 Fender Jazz Bass '62 Vintage Reissue JB62 Electric Bass Guitar Sunburst w/ Case, Japan CIJ

Up for sale, a 2002 Fender Jazz Bass '62 vintage reissue in exceptional, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with an upgrade hardshell case. 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 9lbs 3oz, 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 slender U profile carve with full shoulders and lightly rolled fretboard edges, gaining more heft as you travel up the neck, measuring .815" deep at the 1st fret and .930" at the 12th. The rosewood fretboard is a very dark, thick slab 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 Q-prefix serial are present 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 glossy reddish brown tortoise contrasts with the three-tone Sunburst gloss finish, and cosmetic wear is limited to just a few tiny marks and faint finish scratches on the body as a whole. The ambered gloss finish on the neck profile is smooth and clean.An upgrade hardshell case is included.
