LeftyJ Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Cool. Those have been around for a while actually, but only for the Japanese market. Are they actually exporting this new FSR version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzbass2000 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 That's very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsmokebass Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Looking at the Fender Japan site, I'm surprised they haven't brought out some "FSR" Pbasses too. The PB70/ASH looks a beaut and no doubt would sell, IMHO, better fenderjapan.co.jp/pb70ash.html BSB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skej21 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 These are confirmed now. Models include a '66 RI Olympic white jazz, tort plate, matching headstock and pearloid block inlays on a rosewood board. Other is a CAR jazz body, pearl block inlays on rosewood board and a P/J pickup config. Look interesting but both going for £1179ish is quite high IMO!

[/quote]look at the USA model, ok its not a PJ, but my money is on the Japan being as good if not better than the USA models, and way cheaper. ive played so many Fender Jazz basses that are "made in Japan" and every one was from good from outstanding. the only bass i would take over my MIJ 75 is my old Sei Jazz. really cant see how this is a 75 reissue though. why do they confuse people like this.?

Dingus Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Looks a little bit wrong to me to have a PJ configuration on a Jazz Body , just like it looks [i]very [/i] wrong to have two Jazz pickups on a Precision body . I'm sure most other folks won't be bothered by it , though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]dont like it either, the P pickup's look messy on a jazz. gives the jazz a bit more punch mind.

lou24d53 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Never understood the P/J mix myself, if you want a P bass, buy a P bass, if you want a Jazz, by a Jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lou24d53 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) It's not the best of both worlds though is it? If it were, it would have P pickups (which it has) and it would have two J pickups (which it hasn't). If you want the 'best' of both worlds, buy two basses. Only my opinion of course.

Jazzneck Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I've just ordered a Fender Japan JB/62 VSP. Having been looking for a decent J Bass for years I finally discovered that, to my taste, the Japanese Fenders are much better than the US builds (including Custom Shop) and are cheaper hence better value for money. I've spent the last year or so being a pain trying out so many J Basses around the country before pulling the trigger - now waiting patiently for the call to say it has arrived........
