Finished in gloss Walnut with black chrome hardware, it has a distinctive look that really separates it from more typical vintage-style Jazz Basses. Fender Japan is well known for excellent fit and finish, and this one is a great example of that, with classic Jazz Bass tone and a unique visual package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"621\" data-end=\"630\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"632\" data-end=\"893\"\u003eThis bass is in very good condition and I would rate it a solid 8.5\/10. It shows light surface scratches, dings, and some tarnish to the black chrome hardware from normal use. Please review all photos carefully for the most accurate representation of condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"895\" data-end=\"1195\"\u003eThis bass is 100% original. There are no cracks, breaks, repairs, or modifications. The neck finish is clean and smooth, the frets show no wear, and the bass plays cleanly up and down the neck with low action and perfect intonation. It has also been recently professionally set up and is ready to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1197\" data-end=\"1219\"\u003eA gig bag is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1221\" data-end=\"1235\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1237\" data-end=\"1774\"\u003eSerial Number: JD12033611\u003cbr data-start=\"1262\" data-end=\"1265\"\u003eWeight: 9 lbs 6 oz\u003cbr data-start=\"1283\" data-end=\"1286\"\u003eNut Width: 1.53\"\u003cbr data-start=\"1302\" data-end=\"1305\"\u003eNeck Depth: .78\" at the 1st fret, .98\" at the 12th fret\u003cbr data-start=\"1360\" data-end=\"1363\"\u003eNeck Profile: Medium U\u003cbr data-start=\"1385\" data-end=\"1388\"\u003eBody: Ash\u003cbr data-start=\"1397\" data-end=\"1400\"\u003eFinish: Gloss Walnut\u003cbr data-start=\"1420\" data-end=\"1423\"\u003eNeck: Maple\u003cbr data-start=\"1434\" data-end=\"1437\"\u003eFingerboard: Slab Rosewood\u003cbr data-start=\"1463\" data-end=\"1466\"\u003eRadius: 7.25\"\u003cbr data-start=\"1479\" data-end=\"1482\"\u003eScale Length: 34\"\u003cbr data-start=\"1499\" data-end=\"1502\"\u003eNut: Bone\u003cbr data-start=\"1511\" data-end=\"1514\"\u003eFrets: Slender Vintage\u003cbr data-start=\"1536\" data-end=\"1539\"\u003eTuners: Gotoh Clover, Black Chrome\u003cbr data-start=\"1573\" data-end=\"1576\"\u003ePickups: Factory Fender JB Single-Coils\u003cbr data-start=\"1615\" data-end=\"1618\"\u003eControls: Volume, Volume, Tone\u003cbr data-start=\"1648\" data-end=\"1651\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eBridge: Vintage-Style with Black Barrel Saddles\u003cbr data-start=\"1698\" data-end=\"1701\"\u003ePickguard: 1-Ply Black with Vintage-Style Pointer Knobs\u003cbr data-start=\"1756\" data-end=\"1759\"\u003eCase: Gig Bag\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1776\" data-end=\"1798\"\u003eElectronics \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1800\" data-end=\"2089\"\u003eOne of the standout features of this bass is the combination of the ash body, Walnut finish, and black chrome hardware. It gives the instrument a much more distinctive and upscale look than a standard vintage-style Jazz Bass, while still keeping the familiar Fender layout and feel intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2091\" data-end=\"2365\"\u003eAs a Japan-exclusive JB62-WAL model, it is also appealing for players and collectors who want something outside the usual Fender catalog offerings. The black hardware, pointer knobs, and vintage-style specs make it feel special without losing the classic Jazz Bass identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2367\" data-end=\"2378\"\u003eTone \u0026amp; Feel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2380\" data-end=\"2677\"\u003eThis bass delivers everything you want from a good Jazz Bass. The bridge pickup has the tight, burpy midrange and articulate attack players love, while the neck pickup adds warmth and roundness. Blended together, the two pickups give you a very versatile and usable voice for just about any style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2679\" data-end=\"2857\"\u003eThe Medium U neck feels comfortable and fast, and the professionally dialed-in setup makes the bass especially easy to play.
