NBD: '14 Fender (MIJ) JB62SS (Holy... What a unicorn!)

I been having some incredible luck finding 'unicorns' lately - First it was the left handed Kasuga 'Rick' from 1977 and now a Fender JB62SS in Vintage White. 

 

These things are incredible - Take a Jazzbass and 'shrink' it down to a 29.5" scale, make the body 15% smaller, but keep electronics, pickups etc in the same size for easy upgrades. Yum yum! 

 

This thing is so mind-blowing easy to play - 3.1Kg (6.8Lbs) and it just sound like a proper Jazz. 

 

Tonight is going to include a full setup, upgrade the bridge (Babicz) and pickups (Fralin) and of course install some proper left handed CTS pots along with an orange drop. 47
