Fender is the number one brand of electric guitars and basses.
Loved by countless top artists including James Jamerson, Bobby Vega, Michael League, and more. (Title omitted)
The Jazz Bass was released as a higher-end model of the Precision Bass.
Its sharp, clear sound is loved by many bassists, and even today it continues to enjoy overwhelming support, giving off a shining presence.
This model was sold for a limited time in 2021 as the signature model of bassist Kazuteru Arai (King Gnu, millennium parade) and sold out in an instant.
He originally used the American Deluxe Jazz Bass, and you could say this is an updated version of that.
The neck is made of roasted maple and painted with nitrocellulose lacquer. (As will be explained later, these specifications have been changed to lower costs in the new model)
It can be said that this model focuses more on the way it sounds.
One of the attractions of Amedela is its powerful electronics, but it is impressive that they have updated the acoustic part.
Actually, Amedela had been reprinted once before, but at that time, musicians were buying a lot of it, so there wasn't a lot of it on the market.
Currently, used prices are skyrocketing, and this will be attractive to those who are looking for something like that.
As a side note, this 2021 limited edition model seems to be filled with the ideals envisioned by Mr. Arai.
Mr. Arai's Amedela reprint model was revived as a regular product in 2023, but its specifications have been revised to make it more affordable.
For example, the neck is not roasted maple and the paint is not lacquer.
It is difficult to call this a simple downgrade, but there are differences, so it would be interesting to compare them.
Approximately 80% of the frets remain.
The truss rod works well.
The condition of the neck is a little high, but the string height above the 12th fret is 2.2 mm on the 1st string side and 3.0 mm on the 5th string side, so it can be played without jamming or buzzing.
The condition of the body and painted surface is that there are some scratches on the pickguard, but there are no other noticeable scratches and it can be said to be in good condition.
The electrical system is in good condition.
No obvious modification points were found.
