(SOLD) Fender Japan Standard Jazz Bass JB-45 Candy Apple Red 2004
Fender Japan Standard Jazz Bass, candy apple red, made in Japan 2004-5. This sounds great! The J-Craft Standard series ran for many years and offered a trimmed-down version of the classic 1962 style Jazz Bass, but with a slick satin finish neck and the truss rod adjuster in a sensible spot. This one weighs in a whisker under 4kg... luxuriously light for a Jazz Bass and super resonant to boot. It's got an immediate, tuneful punch with a tidy top end and growly midrange, it's very easy to enjoy. Candy apple red always looks good too, right?
