Up for sale, a 2011 Fender Jazz Bass ‘62 vintage reissue model JB62 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This “Made in Japan” Jazz Bass was crafted exclusively for the Japanese domestic market and is uncommon outside of its country of origin, featuring a custom color Daphne Blue gloss finish.
The bass features a basswood body and a maple neck capped with a slab rosewood fretboard, weighing 9lbs 2oz. The pair of JB-Single single coil pickups deliver quintessential Jazz Bass tonalities, with plenty of midrange warmth, burp, and articulate growl, and rolling off the Tone knob yields ample thump. This '62 Jazz Bass has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.
