2013 Fender Jazz Bass '75 Vintage Reissue JB75 Natural Non-Catalog w/ Black Blocks + Binding, Japan MIJ

Up for sale, a 2013 Fender Jazz Bass ‘75 vintage reissue model JB75B in showroom clean, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This rare, non-catalog “Made in Japan” Jazz Bass is set apart from Fender Japan's standard JB75 models via the distinctive black block inlays and binding framing the maple fretboard, and features vintage-correct touches including a block logo and three-bolt neck plate.

Weighing 10lbs 14oz, this bass offers natural fundamental punch and sonic authority, with great midrange presence and note attack via the ash body, balanced by the articulation and brightness of maple. Plugged in, the low end is thick and focused, with a present upper-midrange burp and treble-centric grind. This Jazz Bass JB75B has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.
