$1,349.99

+ shipping

Up for sale, a 2009 Fender Jazz Bass ‘62 vintage reissue model JB62-US in exceptional, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This “Made in Japan” bass is a discontinued model that rivals Fender’s American Vintage line of instruments, with USA-made pickups and vintage-spec touches including full-size tuner baseplates and spiral bridge saddles.

Tonewoods include an alder body, maple neck, and slab rosewood fretboard, and this JB62-US weighs 9lbs 10oz. The Fender USA single coil pickups have plenty of sweet midrange and articulate grind, with a clear treble response and plenty of broad thump when dialing back the Tone knob. This bass benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, comfortable action, and accurate intonation.

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 is limited to light buckle wear central to the back and just a few minor dings on the body as a whole. The neck profile retains its smooth ambered gloss.

A gigbag is included.
