Up for sale, a 2004 Fender Jazz Bass ‘75 vintage reissue model JB75-90US in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. An upscale, discontinued Jazz Bass model produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, this "Crafted in Japan" Jazz Bass features a bound maple fretboard with black block inlay and USA-made Fender pickups.
Weighing 10lbs 3oz with an ash body, the bass offers plenty of punch, midrange emphasis and natural resonance. The pickups are the same pair used on Fender’s American Standard Jazz Bass line; the bridge pickup delivers growl and clarity, balanced by smooth, rounder sounds at the neck position, with a broad array of tonalities achieved by blending the two. This JB75-90US has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and spot-on intonation.
