Up for sale, a 1990 Fender Jazz Bass Fretless ‘62 vintage reissue model JB62-60FL in 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. This early “Made in Japan” fretless Jazz Bass was crafted at the Fujigen factory, uncommon outside of its country of origin.

Weighing 8lbs 8oz, tonewoods include a basswood body, maple neck, and slab unlined rosewood fretboard. The pair of JB-Vintage single coil pickups deliver plenty of growl, burp, and cut, throaty and punchy with the Tone rolled off and the neck pickup favored. This Jazz Bass JB62-60FL benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, with 45-100 D’addario Chromes flatwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.
