Up for sale, a 2005 Fender Jazz Bass ‘62 vintage reissue in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, sporting a custom color Lake Placid Blue finish with matching headstock. This “Crafted in Japan” bass faithfully captures the look and feel of a ‘60s Jazz Bass, designed for sale in the Japanese domestic market and uncommon outside its country of origin.
Weighing 9lbs 4oz, tonewoods include a basswood body, maple neck and thick slab rosewood fretboard, and the instrument has a smooth, resonant natural acoustic response. The single coil pickups deliver a range of quintessential Jazz Bass tonalities, with ample midrange burp and cut, and a treble-centric growl accentuated by a custom set of 50-105 half round strings. This ‘62 Jazz Bass benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with easy-playing action and accurate intonation.

- Fretboard: Rosewood slab, 7 1/4” vintage-spec radius
- Frets: Slender, no wear

The finish is classified by Fender Japan as "OLB" for "Old Lake Placid Blue," denoting a more icy, dark and vintage-correct shade of this custom color compared to previous Fender Japan offerings. The instrument shows a few minor marks and finish chips with light finish scratches in the clear coat consistent with minimal use. The ambered gloss on the neck profile is smooth and clean.
A gigbag is included.
