【used】Fender / Deluxe Jazz Bass V Kazuki Arai Edition 2023 4.630kg #JD23019445【Consignment 】【GIB Yokohama】

Fender is undoubtedly the number one brand for electric guitars and basses.
It's beloved by countless top artists, including James Jamerson, Bobby Vega, and Michael League. (Titles omitted)

The Jazz Bass was released as a premium model of the Precision Bass.
Its sharp, clear sound is beloved by many bassists, and it continues to enjoy overwhelming support and a shining presence to this day.

This model is the signature model of bassist Kazuki Arai (King Gnu).
He originally played the American Deluxe Jazz Bass, and this could be considered an updated version of that.

This is a reissue of the limited edition model that was released in limited quantities in 2021 and quickly sold out, now part of the regular line.

The specifications have been revised to make it more affordable.

Manufactured in 2023.

The body is made of ash and the fingerboard is made of rosewood, a classic wood construction.
While the limited edition model featured a roasted maple neck, this one is made of regular maple.

It gives off a more classic impression.

Both models have the same slightly thin C-shape neck.

As for the finish, the limited edition model uses nitrocellulose lacquer, while this model uses urethane.

This could be considered a change to a lower-cost option, but this is by no means a negative aspect; it gives the guitar a tighter sound, bringing out the power of the active bass.

The electronics are from the American Ultra series.
The powerful electronics that are characteristic of Amedela are appealing.

Actually, the Amedela was reissued once before, but musicians bought them up in large numbers at the time, so there weren't many on the market.
Used prices are currently rising, so this one will be attractive even for those looking for one in that area.

I recommend it.

Approximately 95% of the frets remain.

The truss rod is in good condition.

The neck is in good condition.

There are several dents and scratches on the body and paint.
The electrical system is in good condition.
No obvious modifications were found.
