Here’s a true gem from Fender Japan’s golden era — a 1984 Squier JV Series Jazz Bass. These early Japanese instruments were built with exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail, rivaling and even surpassing many American-made Fenders of the time. This one has been tastefully upgraded with Lindy Fralin pickups, delivering boutique-level clarity, punch, and vintage warmth while preserving that unmistakable classic Jazz Bass feel.


A rare survivor in remarkable condition for its age, this 40-year-old bass combines collector appeal with real-world playability. From the neck profile to the tone, everything about this bass screams vintage Fender heritage.
