Fender JB62 Jazz made at the
Fuji-gen Plant (for Fender Japan) in 1993 - 1994. 

 

I'm offering this bass up at a fair bit below market value as, you may have noticed, it's been interfered with. The body's paintwork has been subjected to a damn good kicking, but luckily the neck and hardware aging all seems to be what you'd expect from a 30 year old instrument with no additional relicing. Everything else is original, the frets are in good shape and the truss rod works as you'd hope.

 

I recently took this to a function gig and everyone in the band absolutely loved the look and sound of it. "That's much nicer than that weird looking bass you had last week." That was a Spector 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

It sounds great and plays wonderfully with a fairly low action for a vintage spec jazz. It's recently been setup with a new set of Jim Dunlop Nickel 40-100's and is ready to rock. 

 

It's light at just 8.5lbs and comes with a newish Tourtech gig bag. I can include a strap if you need one as I seem to have an abundance at the moment. 

 

Collection from Margate or I can box it up if you'd like to arrange a courier.

What a great looking bass. Has this been relic'd or is this natural wear and tear? Also, do you know if the body is Basswood or Alder?

 

Hi, it's a relic job, although it's more convincing than a lot of Fender Custom Shop basses I've played! 

 

I assume it's alder due to the prominent grain patterns, but I'm not 100% sure I'm afraid.

The non US models generally all have basswood bodies, so that is what I'd have thought this has, especially with it being light.

 

You can check out the Fender Japan catalogues for confirmation.....

Not that it makes much of a difference imo. I have a MIJ P with a basswood body and it's fantastic, EB use it in the Bongo too.

Really surprised this is still for sale. These are amazing basses and this one looks so cool. 

If I wasn't already trying to sell one, I'd be very tempted.

Me too. Thanks for the kind words.

Hello! I am totally in love with this instrument, it is very nice, and we know that made in Japan are good basses.  Would it be possible to send it to Spain? Do you have an agency that insures the instrument and is not very expensive? 

Thanks in advance

 

Hi, due to wondrous brexit, this is a UK only sale I'm afraid.

This is such an amazing deal, I'm going to pitch it to some of my students/students parents who need something a bit better than the Gear4Music garbage they've been using for the last 5 years...

 

Thanks 👍
