Made in Japan Fender fretless Jazz. The project I intended to use it for has changed direction, so off it goes.
Lovely grain on the fretless rosewood board. Neck is nice and straight.
Body has a few dings, which I have tried to show in the pics.
Weighs in at 8 lbs, 8 ozs.
Pickups sound great. A...
Here is your chance to pick up a rare limited edition. I have had it in my studio since 2019 and never play it. I have about 1 hour of playing time total. It still has the original strings that sound brand new. Overall the bass is like new. All case candy and original gig bag included. I am...

I've got a japanese fender p-bass, early 80's and the bridge intonation screws need replacing! I ordered what I thought would work from partsisparts and everything's too big, including the saddle height adjustment screws.
Everything is too thick and the threads are wrong.
After a bit more...

Hey TB! First post so be gentle
I'm trying to identify the model and authenticity of this bass. It's advertised as a 1988-1989 Fender Japan Jazz Bass Special
I'm having trouble finding similar pictures of other Fender MIJ Jazz Special, can anyone please help?
I've noticed places like Chicago Music Exchange and other dealers get some Fender Japan basses from time to time. It isn't consistent, and it almost feels like Fender Japan must go through stages of doing runs of a certain kind or series of bass and then they lay off. I really like the...
Are the neck pockets on Japanese Fender 62 reissue jazz basses cut the same as American and Mexican models? I have a custom bass neck coming soon and I want to have a snug fit.
Hello guys i tried to remove the neck of my bass to know whats written inside and if it’s a 100% legit japanese fender. And i found out these. It says pjr-cr and jr-cr And a letter F and a color blue dot.
does anyone knows the meaning of these? Thanks!!
Does anyone have experiences with FGN(Fujigen) basses? Such as NJB, NPB or JMJ?
I only used to have one, NPB10M, or it was called NPB100 for an early model. It has an ash body, maple one-piece neck and fingerboard.
It doesn't sound like the sound of the 80s and early 90s Japanese Fender AT ALL...
Just came in today. Scored this off of reverb. 2006-2007 CIJ PB62. I threw it on the bench and put CTS pots, switchcraft jack, orange cap, shielded everything, Fender Vintage bridge, tort guard, and tug bar. Came with Fender Flats, but I restrung it with TI’s. Can’t wait to gig her this weekend.

Now I'm not a big fan of either Dusty Hill or Sting, nor am I fan of 60's art, so I'm at a loss to explain this thing I have for SC P-basses. Think I saw a picture in "Play Bass Guitar" by Jim Gregory,well Jim's getting the blame,and that was me snared :laugh:
With 5 sc P-basses and a 51 slab...
Greetings
So I bought via auction from Japan this MIJ 'N' serial Jazz.
I had never seen a maple fret board with dot inlays, and on that colour with the Basslines/SD pups with the spiral bridge, so I was intrigued.
The serial number indicates that it is a 93/94. The colour was available at...

For sale is a 1997 Fender Japan 75 RI. I recently picked this up as a partial trade on my local CL but just not bonding with it. Overall excellent condition for a 21 year old instrument. Couple of small indents on back of neck and one on the upper horn of the body. Neck is straight and truss rod...

Fender Japan JB62M - these are no longer made, and this is the only one I’ve ever seen with a maple fretboard. It is possibly one-of-kind. Frets are also old style non-jumbo size. It was most likely a one-off special order in Japan in the mid-1990s. All original parts and strung with great...

Here are some very nice Fender Japan tuning machines. They were pulled from a 1999 '75 Reissue Jazz Bass neck. All of them work well, and hold tune as they should. No major hazing. They do show a hint of tarnishing (the Nickel has gotten a little darker). They are still tip, top for a set of 19...

Hi fellow thumper,
just got my hand on a nice MIJ Fender 5-string fretless from around 1988. Couldn’t find anything online. Seems to be a rare as hell axe. Maybe one of you guys can help me out with some information. Highly appreciated!!
I just saw these for the first time yesterday - sort of like the MIM Classic Series (traditional) and the American Original Series (Hybrid)
I am not sure who is building the current MIJ Fenders - but I like the looks of that Hybrid Series 50s P - the only reason my MIM 50s was moved on was...
Hi all,
I've always had a soft spot for Capri Orange and couldn't resist when this came up on Reverb a few weeks back.
It's a 1993 MIJ '62 reissue, one of the "non-export" versions. A few battlescars, and the neck pickup doesn't work so I need to take it apart and see what's going on, but...
Hey, Y'all... so it seems I'm about to be the fourth owner of a beautiful Jazz Bass that was first advertised here on TalkBass some years ago...

Is it just me or is it all of a sudden REALLY hard to get your hands on a moderately-prices original Fender Mustang as of late? Not the new mim models with the PJ configuration, but the real ones with the mini split coil and the fat bridges? I’ve been dying to get my hands on one for a personal...
