Burns-bass Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I’m not sure this is a 62 RI model. I think it’s a Japanese standard jazz bass. Very nice guitars! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a pbass with the same wood with 4kg of weight. Anyway, this basses have an amazing sound. Always are a good purchase. Glwts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMoon Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I was just at Claude's place sealing the deal on another bass. While I was there I had chance to play this Fender Jazz bass. Without an amp it is very resonant and the body isn't covered in the dings that are so easy to collect on basswood bodies. This and the weight suggests to me alder, rather than basswood. Just my 2 cents opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommygingell Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 It’s a 60’s reissue bass and it’s alder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 This is a standard Japanese Jazz bass with the 62 touches. They did that back then. Ive had quite a few from this era. The body is definitely made of basswood. Its a great wood. MusicMan chose this wood for the Bongo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
