Fender Japan Jazz 75 reissue Non Export. £1100 On Hold £1200 Carlisle

[Dee-bass]

Here we have an incredible Made in Japan Fender jazz 1975 reissue non export model, weight is a lovely 4.1kg, I bought this in Tokyo back in the 90's & had a full set up by leading UK Luthier Andy Warnock, he also fitted a set of Lollar pickups, Kts pots with a switchcraft Jack & re wired it in vintage wiring, the bass is killer & in superb unused condition, it dates from 1995-96. Lovely low action that plays & sounds incredible. Comes with the original pickups & a hiscox hard case.

Really nice - looks like a one piece body too...

Don’t think it’s one piece, but is very well book-matched compared to others I’ve seen. The join looks to be to the right of the neck plate on the rear shot, tracing it down you can see two grain lines merge into one.

 

Looks lovely. Guessing this might be a heavy beast.

It's a very comfortable weight & not heavy at all like some of the originals

Yes, 4.1kg is a nice weight.

I think that's my idea of a perfect jazz bass. Gorgeous.
