Fender is the number one brand of electric guitars and basses.
Loved by countless top artists, including Jaco Pastorious, Marcus Miller, and Geddy Lee. (Titles omitted)
The Jazz Bass was released as a higher-end model of the Precision Bass.
Its sharp and clear sound is loved by many bassists, and it still has an overwhelming support and shining presence even today.
Fender Japan is a discontinued brand, but many artists still use it, and its high quality has earned a certain reputation.
This is a 5-string JB from the Fender Japan era.
Manufactured between 2006 and 2008.
The body is made of alder and the fingerboard is made of rosewood, which is a standard configuration.
The nut width is set narrow, and it is designed to be less incongruous with a 4-string.
It may be a little unusual to see such specifications adopted in a traditional style.
As the name VINTAGE 5 suggests, the pickup is a classic single coil.
It has the natural sound of a jazz bass, and a slightly neat impression, making it an all-purpose instrument that is easy to use in any genre or on any occasion.
It is an excellent piece that can compete with more expensive instruments.
Approximately 80% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck is in good condition with no significant warping or twisting, is within the appropriate setting range, and plays well.
The body and paint are generally in good condition, with noticeable scratches on some areas of the back of the body.
The electrical system is in good condition.
After arriving at our store, we repaired and replaced the screw holes under the bridge.

When setting up, we use D'addario EXL, which is highly trusted by professional musicians.
It is characterized by a strong attack and rich overtones, and is truly worthy of being called a standard.
It is a high-quality string that brings out the performance and character of the instrument to the fullest, so please enjoy it as well.
The GIB craftsmen will adjust it to make it easy to play before delivering it to you.
