{"product_id":"2004-fender-jazz-bass-jb62-73wal-ash-w-black-hardware-japan-cij","title":"2004 Fender Jazz Bass JB62-73WAL Ash w\/ Black Hardware, Japan CIJ","description":"Up for sale, a 2004 Fender Jazz Bass model JB62-73WAL in exceptional, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This “Crafted in Japan” Jazz Bass was a limited run model made exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, uncommon outside its country of origin. Features include an ash body, a gloss Walnut finish, and black chrome hardware.The ash body ensures a certain punch and authority, and the instrument has plenty of natural sustain, weighing 9lbs 2oz. The bridge pickup offers a present treble-centric growl and midrange burp, while smoother, wider sounds can be achieved with the neck pickup favored. The bass has been professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike's Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, comfortable action and accurate intonation.The maple neck has a medium depth U-shaped profile carve with round shoulders in every register and lightly rolled fretboard edges, measuring .835\" at the 1st fret and .970\" at the 12th. The slab rosewood fretboard has a 7 1\/4“ radius, and the original slender fretwire is practically perfect, with well-rounded crowns. The bass plays easily in every register up the 34\" scale with a straight neck and responsive, optimally adjusted truss rod, and the bone nut measures 1 1\/2\" in width. On the headstock, the black chrome clover-button tuning machines turn smoothly and hold pitch as they should. The R-prefix serial and “Crafted in Japan” text are present above the four-bolt neck plate.All of the electronics work as intended, and hardware includes the black chrome control plate and bridge, the latter of which exhibits some faint surface patina. Plastics comprise the trio of knobs and the one-ply black pickguard. The gloss Walnut finish is dark and rich, and cosmetic wear is limited to some dings on the body as a whole, largely relegated to the lower bout perimeter, and a couple faint scratches in the clear coat on the back, shy of “buckle rash” territory. The smooth gloss on the neck profile is immaculate.A Ritter-brand padded gigbag is included.","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44125220241664,"sku":"R009163","price":1379.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/products\/medium_f509bd33-46e1-451c-8b9d-96e9d2cc1d71.jpg?v=1751529875","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/2004-fender-jazz-bass-jb62-73wal-ash-w-black-hardware-japan-cij","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
