*£875 posted* Hand made in small numbers in Japan, these basses really are a joy. The 24 fret Maple neck features block inlays with Luminlay side dots, stainless steel frets and classic style Gotoh tuners. The Ash body is scaled down with an ample cutaway allowing access to the dusty end, this results in it being super light at 3.7kg/8.1lb. The controls are Volume, Volume, Tone with a series/parallel switch to fatten up the sound when required. It features a Gotoh bridge and the latest Atelier Z pickups with staggered pole pieces. It's in fantastic condition and comes with an Atelier Z gig bag which unfortunately has a broken zip (may be fixable?). I've added a picture of the top of the headstock which highlights the only imperfection.

I'm open to trades and offers 👍🏻

This bass was reviewed in Bass Guitar Magazine a couple of months back, I'll throw in a copy if anyone wants it.

I'm not totally sure why.. I'm happy to haggle, especially if the buyer doesn't need the Protec case 👍🏻

Thanks for the heads up, I'll check it out 👍🏻

Thanks mate. I've dated my one using the trusty neck date method 😁

JV fans, can anyone explain the difference between my bass and the one for sale here? https://reverb.com/item/23944001-fender-62-reissue-jazz-bass-jv-1983-white-japan-import I thought the 'Fender' labelled JV basses were the very first models made in late '82 before moving on to the Squier logo in early '83? The bass on reverb appears to be a Fender with a JV serial number and yet was made a couple of months after my bass?

Unneeded? Every Fender is sacred.

I guess you'd need to play it to appreciate the price point. It really is a very nicely built and well spec'd instrument.

I'm feeling generous so will include a Protec Contego gig bag with the JV. One of the best bags available to house one of the best Jazz basses.

Pics updated to show (new) gig bag and extreme pinkness.

This was sold but is now available again for the absolute bargain price of £600. These are around £1300 new 🙌🏻 My rather special MIJ Aria Pro II RSB 1500 is up for grabs (to be followed shortly by some other basses). These are fairly new on the scene and are essentially a high grade super-jazz. Think Sadowsky Metro and you won't be far off. This particular colour, See-through pink as it's known is only available on the Japanese Market. It's lightweight (3.9kg/8.6lb), sounds fantastic and uses high grade hardware and materials throughout. Official spec Body: Quilted Maple Top, Ash Back Neck: Maple 1P, Bolt-On Fingerboard: Maple Frets: 24F Scale: 864mm Nut width: 40mm Pickups: AJJ-1 x 2 Controls: Volume, Balancer, Treble, Bass Machineheads: GOTOH GB1 Bridge: GOTOH J510SJ Hardware: Chrome

Some Joe Dart inspiration 🙌🏻

I wish I could be so devoted to a bass!

It's 22.2kg/49lb 👍🏻

Thanks chaps, it weighs just over 9lbs.

Thanks mate, I've not seen many that are this clean. The photos don't really do it justice, it's very pretty in the flesh/wood.

Hi mate, I'd be very surprised if it's less than 40lbs, I'll confirm this evening. The compact size and chunky handle make it an easy one hand lift from the boot to the stage on your average gig. And I'm incredibly unfit!

It's the 4 ohm version. I've been gigging this for a while in a couple of different bands and rarely get past 9 o'clock on the master. It's a beast.

MIJ Squier JV Jazz in amazing condition! This bass was made on 23rd Mar 1983 and has been extremely well looked after in its life. It's all original minus the neck volume pot which has been replaced at some point. The neck is an absolute dream, the small vintage frets and the radius of the dark Rosewood board make it a pleasure to play. The pickups sound full and punchy and can do everything from zingy slap to full on funk on the bridge pickup. These basses really do deserve the hype, they are beautiful instruments that capture that pre CBS magic at a fraction of the cost.

It's the 12'' version. I've had both and this is the one to have. It's much smaller, lighter and punchier.
