Fender Japan JB62-550 Jazz Bass (1991, Fujigen)
Based on the neck date, this instrument was manufactured in 1991, during the highly regarded Fujigen era.
This bass has clearly been well played, and the body shows numerous dings, scratches, and finish checking consistent with long-term use. Rather than detracting from the instrument, this heavy playwear gives it strong character and a broken-in feel.
Tonally, this is a very forward-sounding Jazz Bass with an unusually strong presence that cuts through the mix. As detailed below, several key parts have been upgraded, making this an excellent choice for players who prioritize sound over cosmetics.
The instrument has been fully serviced by our in-house repair department.
