Up for sale, a 2014 Fender Jazz Bass ‘62 vintage reissue model JB62/VSP in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original padded gigbag and hangtags. A rare, top-tier model made exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, this bass is part of Fender Japan's Vintage Special Project series of instruments, representing the finest craftsmanship that Fender Japan has to offer. Premium touches and features include a nitro lacquer three-tone Sunburst finish, alder body, USA-made pickups, vintage-spec spiral saddles, and premium USA-made CTS pots with a Switchcraft output jack.
Weighing 9lbs 14oz, this bass offers ample natural sustain and resonance. The USA-made pickups have plenty of sweet midrange and the articulate growl inherent to the Jazz Bass sound, with a clear treble response and plenty of broad thump with the Tone knob dialed back to taste. We’ve had this Jazz Bass professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.
