GazWills Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Up for sale is my Fender Japan non-export 62RI Jazz. I bought this bass on here towards the end of 2011 from cayston, who got it from Far East Guitars earlier in 2011. The bass has Fender US pickups and a Badass II bridge, and according to John from Far East Guitars, this colour is meant to be pretty rare. Pickups and bridge were fitted as standard, I think this was a limited run that Fender Japan did. There is a tiny little scratch / ding on the headstock. I have taken a pic to show this - it's a very minor ding, just wanted to highlight it in a picture. Aside from this, bass is in as-new condition. I am selling this as I really want another Precision, and Jazz necks are just a bit too slim for my tastes. This has had a setup recently and plays beautifully, and has a fantastic growly tone. I recorded with this recently, and if you want to hear it, listen to [url="http://firstandlastmenmusic.bandcamp.com/"]http://firstandlastm...c.bandcamp.com/[/url] ('you do it' has a little bass intro, which shows the growly tone I mentioned). This really is a cracking bass, I just can't get used to the jazz style neck so reluctantly selling. I am looking for £650 which is what I paid for the bass in 2011 Price is pretty firm, as need the cash to put towards another bass.... I'm based in Bristol if you wanna try it out (price doesn't include delivery). Don't have scales so can't weigh this. It's not as light as my precision, but certainly not what I'd call a heavy bass (sorry that's not a huge help!) cheers bass: body shot: little mark on headstock: neck and headstock: Edited January 19, 2013 by GazWills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
