Walnut Japanese Jazz

[pmjos]

Just a bit of feedback. I had a play on one of the Japanese made Walnut Fender Jazz basses.

Very, very impressive. Warm, thick, barks like Jaco's dog on the back pick up.

Any one tried one of these - It really took me by surprise - gorgeous sound and very playable if a little heavy.

if thats the ones i think about they're not walnut but tainted ash.

i had one in stock , amazing JB , sounded nuts but on the heavy end of things

I suspect you are right BUT.....has anyone tried one..........they should.

My mate and neighbour has just bought one and he loves it. He's on here but I can't remember what he calls himself. Hopefully he'll be along soon!

That looks like it. Saw it on display and though it would be megga expensive when I heard it, but far from it. Great clear tone, sound like string through body jazz but warmer.

I've had mine for a few years... traded a double bass for it with another BC member who imported it from Japan.

It's nice... essentially a 62 reissue with a fancy paintjob.

They're not overly common.

Hi, I have one too. It's a lovely thing to own and play.
Difficult to fault really though I did fit a Schaller bridge to it.
