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 is a change to a lower-cost specification, 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, Amedela was reissued once before, but at the time it was snapped up in large quantities by musicians, 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 80% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck shows signs of being high-set. Adjusting the strings 0.2mm higher than the GIB standard (2.2mm-3.0mm at the 12th fret) allows for smooth play, but buzzing may occur on the higher frets depending on picking strength.
The body and finish have minor scratches, but are generally in good condition.
The electrical system is in good condition.
No obvious modifications were found.

D'addario EXL strings, trusted by professional musicians, were used for the setup.
Characterized by a powerful attack and rich overtones, they truly deserve to be called the standard.
These high-quality strings maximize the performance and character of your instrument, so please enjoy them.
GIB craftsmen will adjust the instrument for optimal playability before delivery.
