Seller's description

Offered here is an exceptional Fender Japan JB-85 Jazz Bass, crafted during the legendary FujiGen “Golden Era” of Japanese Fender production. Built in the mid-1980s, this instrument exemplifies why vintage Made-in-Japan Fenders have earned an outstanding reputation among professional musicians and collectors alike.Finished in a beautifully aged Olympic White with a classic dark tortoise pickguard, this bass has developed the warm vintage patina that only decades of careful ownership can produce. The maple neck features a comfortable, fast-playing profile with a rosewood fingerboard, delivering the unmistakable feel and response that have made these FujiGen-built instruments so desirable.This bass is more than just a great player—it is an impressively original example. During inspection, the neck was removed to verify authenticity, revealing matching factory “JB-85” stamps on both the neck heel and body pocket, confirming that the neck and body have remained together since leaving the FujiGen factory.Even more impressive, the electronics remain original, including the pickups, wiring harness, Japanese 250K potentiometers, shielding plate, and original green tone capacitor. Finding a vintage Fender Japan bass retaining this level of originality is becoming increasingly uncommon.Professionally set up, the bass plays effortlessly with low, comfortable action and produces the articulate growl, punch, and warmth that have made the Jazz Bass one of the most recorded basses in history.Included is a quality Fender hard-shell case, making this an outstanding instrument for the collector, recording musician, or stage performer.FeaturesFender Japan JB-85 Jazz BassBuilt at the renowned FujiGen factoryMid-1980s productionOlympic White finish with beautiful natural agingRosewood fingerboardFlame Maple neckMatching factory JB-85 neck and body stampsOriginal Fender Japan single-coil Jazz Bass pickupsOriginal electronics and wiring harnessOriginal Japanese 250K potentiometersOriginal
