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.
Fender Japan started in the 80's as a Japanese-made Fender, but unfortunately it has now been discontinued and integrated into the Fender itself.
However, the quality of the brand is still supported by many artists and continues to be sought after.
It is said that Fender Japan differs depending on the serial, but this one is from the legendary popular JV serial.
The words "1 26 85" can be seen on the neck.
This suggests that it may be a JV completed in 1985, and also suggests that the neck may have been replaced. I think the former is more likely, but please keep this in mind just in case.
However, I would also like to note that the quality is very good, and the sound and playing feel are a testament to the fulfillment of Fender Japan's JV era.
Approximately 60% of the frets remain.
The movement of the truss rod is a little stiff, but we have confirmed that it can move around 90 degrees.
The condition of the neck shows symptoms of high tension, and it can be played without problems with string heights of 2.5mm to 3.0mm above 12F.
The condition of the body and paint surface is that there are dents and scratches scattered throughout. There is some shrinkage on the pickguard. Part of the volume knob on the neck PU is missing.
The electrical system is in good condition.
All pots have been changed to ALPHA.
Controls: Neck PU volume, Bridge PU volume, Master tone

When setting up, I use D'addario EXL, which is highly trusted by professional musicians.
Characterized by a powerful attack and rich overtones, it is a performance worthy of being called a standard.
These are high-quality strings that bring out the maximum performance and character of your instrument, so please enjoy them as well.
GIB's craftsmen have adjusted it to make it easier to play and then deliver it to you.
