(SOLD) Fender Japan '75 Jazz Bass JB75-90US Sunburst 2007
Fender '75 Jazz Bass, sunburst, crafted in Japan 2006-8. A bound board with block inlays... makes a J look better, right? These '75 style Jazzies never last long, they look so good. They usually only come in natural finish, so the sunburst is a nice touch; it shows off the ash body so nicely too. The body isn't too heavy and the neck is straight, slim and quick: this feels great in the hands and responds super quickly to the lightest touch. It sounds best when you really dig into it, the ash body loves a heavy handed approach and pumps out a super punchy, fat and round tone with heaps of definition and snap. This is a very, very cool bass that sounds even better than it looks... delicious.
