Up for sale, a 2008 Fender Jazz Bass fretless ‘62 vintage reissue model JB62-FL in excellent condition and in perfect working order. This “Crafted in Japan” bass was designed to recreate Jaco Pastorius’ famed fretless Jazz Bass, featuring a number of vintage-accurate touches including long-stem reverse-gear clover button tuners, spiral (threaded) bridge saddles, and USA-made single coil pickups. Additionally, this particular JB62 has been upgraded with a trio of CTS pots.

Tonewoods include an alder body, maple neck, and lined slab rosewood fingerboard. This JB62-FL delivers plenty of treble growl, burp, and smooth low end via the pickup pair. The signal can get throaty and broad with the neck pickup favored, or dial up the bridge pickup for a more punchy, midrange forward tone. Weighing 9lbs 14oz, this Jazz Bass JB62-FL has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 D’addario Chromes flatwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.

The three-tone Sunburst finish is accurate to vintage-spec with a burst that is only two-tone beneath the area where a pickguard would typically be mounted. Cosmetic wear is limited to faint pick scuffing on top and similarly restrained buckle wear on the treble-side of the back, with a few minor dings and finish scratches. The ambered gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
