NBD - Fender Japan/Bass Bros content part 1

[sPiKi]

I actually bought this in March but have only now gotten around to posting it.

 

Saw the ad on BassBros' socials about a collection of Fender Japan signature models they had just taken delivery of, and it immediately caught my eye.

 

This is a Fender Japan Tomomi jazz bass in fiesta wash, with mint pickguard, CS 64 pickups and stacked knobs, amongst other distinctive features.

 

I'll keep this brief - great specs, sounds great, plays great, and everything you have ever heard about Fender Japan's attention to detail is spot on. Really impressive bass

 

First time buying from BassBros and it was a top-notch experience. Sam and Will were extremely helpful, the bass arrived on time, was well packaged, good comms and they are nice guys to boot.

Using the stacked knobs definitely takes some getting used to during a live performance but I am enjoying the range of tones I can get from fine-tuning and blending the pickups.

Oh my god, that is gorgeous, I could so do with one of these right now for a bunch of gigs I've got coming up.

Wow, it wasn't until scrolling halfway through your post until I noticed the finish is transparent! That's a gorgeous colour, looks fantastic. I love the mix of old and modern features and looks. The aged white pickup covers are distinctly 1980s, the stacked knobs are 1960, but the contoured heel and flatter fingerboard radius are very modern. Very cool!

Thanks guys. It's definitely not just another Jazz.

That is truly gorgeous, sPiKi. Congrats on a lovely Japanese Jazz
