1988 Fender Jazz Bass - Charcoal Burst
Order Made '62 Vintage
Reissue JB62-70
The Fender Japan JB62-70 was one of the higher-spec Jazz Bass reissues produced during the highly regarded Fujigen era.
The “Order Made” Jazz Bass, weighing in at a lightweight 8 lbs 1 oz with an American Basswood body, boasts a pair of single-coil pickups that deliver a diverse range of midrange-forward tones. These pickups offer a rich, burpy, and articulate growl, complemented by a clear treble response and a satisfying thump when the Tone knob is rolled back to taste. This Jazz Bass is truly a standout!
