Up for sale, a 2008 Fender Jazz Bass ‘62 vintage reissue model JB62-US in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with hangtags. This upper-tiered “Crafted in Japan” Jazz Bass was produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market and is uncommon outside its country of origin, featuring factory-installed USA-made pickups and vintage-spec touches including full-size tuner baseplates and spiral bridge saddles.
Tonewoods include an alder body and a maple neck capped by a slab rosewood fretboard, and at 9lbs 3oz, this bass delivers a balanced acoustic tone with sweet sustain. These pickups offer articulate, mid-forward growl, with a clear treble response and fundamental punch. This JB62-US has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.

-Nut: 1 1/2”, bone

This particular iteration of Candy Apple Red is abbreviated "OCR" in the Fender Japan catalog for Old Candy Apple Red, denoting a darker and more vintage-correct shade of this classic custom color than previous Fender Japan offerings. Cosmetic wear includes faint buckle worming central to the back, light pick scuffing on top, and some minor dings on the body. The ambered gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
The original Fender-branded gigbag is included, along with the hangtags.
