Marc S Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I've got a fretless (de-fretted?) one very similar Fender Japan Jazz. Must say, I'm a fan of Japan Fender basses GLWTS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miles'tone Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) I concur. Over Christmas I received an '85 Fender Japan Jazz Bass Special that I had shipped over from Japan. Considering it's lived it's 35 years in a completely different climate it's remained absolutely stable. It was set up prior to shipping with new strings (I was given the measurements of the set up) and it hasn't budged at all. The build quality and materials used are just spot on. I used to own and gig a lovely custom shop '62 Precision that was stupid expensive. I actually prefer playing this MIJ Fender which was a quarter of the price. I know... I wish I'd discovered how good the 80s Fender Japan stuff is years ago. Would've saved myself a bloody fortune! Ahem.. Sorry for the ramble.. GLWTS! 👍 Edited January 18, 2020 by miles'tone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
