Up for sale, a 2008 Fender Jazz Bass ‘75 vintage reissue model JB75-100US in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This upper-tiered “Crafted in Japan” Jazz Bass is uncommon outside its country of origin, featuring factory-installed USA-made pickups and vintage-spec hardware.
Tonewoods include an ash body and a maple neck capped by a maple fretboard, and at 11lbs 4oz, this bass delivers plenty of natural sustain and sonic authority, with the midrange punch inherent in ash as a tonewood. The USA-made "J Bass Vintage" single coil pickups offer sweet midrange and articulate growl, with a clear treble response and plenty of broad thump. This JB75-100US has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-105 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.
