Über dieses Instrument

Diese Instrumentenbeschreibung ist derzeit auf Englisch verfügbar.

Fender Jazz Bass JB62-75US is a Japanese instrument from the "Crafted in Japan" period (1999–2002), manufactured at the Dyna Gakki factory. The model is a replica of the 1962 specification. It features a Candy Apple Red finish and a body made of alder. The instrument is factory-equipped with American-made pickups. In our workshop, the bass underwent a full luthier service, including fret dressing and shielding of the electronics with copper foil.

Technical specification

Manufacturer: Fender

Model: Jazz Bass JB62-75US

Year of production: 1999–2002

Body: Alder

Neck: Maple

Fingerboard: Rosewood

Frets: Vintage (Condition: 90% – after dressing)

Pickups: 2x Fender USA Vintage Jazz Bass Single-Coil

Electronics: Passive (2x Volume, 1x Tone)

Visual condition: 9 out of 10

Finish: Candy Apple Red

Body and construction The solid body is made of alder. The instrument features a Candy Apple Red lacquer finish. A standard Bolt-on construction is used with a neck pocket routed at the Dyna Gakki factory. In our workshop, the electronics cavities were completely shielded with copper foil. The lacquer coating on the body was polished and protected with wax.

Neck and ergonomics The maple neck features a "Slim C" profile. A 38 mm nut is used, which is a standard dimension for JB models. The rosewood fingerboard was cleaned and conditioned with lemon oil. The Vintage size frets retain about 90% of their original height (0.9 mm) and underwent dressing in our service, which included leveling and polishing.

Sound The instrument is factory-equipped with a set of two Fender USA Vintage Jazz Bass Single-Coil pickups.

Characteristics: The neck pickup exposes the lower frequency range, while the bridge pickup is characterized by a boosted higher mid-range and a distinct attack.

Dynamics: The passive electronics allow mixing the signal from both pickups using two independent Volume potentiometers. The copper shielding isolates the circuit from electromagnetic interference.

Additional information

The JB62-75US model in the Fender Japan catalog denoted an instrument based on an alder body and factory-equipped with American pickups (indicated by the "US" abbreviation in the name).

The "Crafted in Japan" signature on instruments produced in the years 1999-2002 indicates that their production was outsourced to the Japanese Dyna Gakki factory.

The Candy Apple Red (CAR) finish in original 1960s instruments belonged to the Custom Color palette, requiring the application of a metallic base under the actual color.

The luthier service performed included: fret dressing, full copper electronics shielding, body polishing, fingerboard conditioning, metal hardware cleaning, and intonation and scale length setup.

Hardware

Bridge: Vintage Style Spiral Saddle – a steel construction with threaded (spiral) saddles that allow for precise string spacing adjustment over the pole pieces.

Tuners: Fender Vintage-Style Open Gear – large, open-back mechanisms. The chrome hardware retains full mechanical efficiency after cleaning.

Instrument condition

Technical condition: 10 out of 10 – the instrument is fully functional mechanically and electronically, after a full luthier inspection. The truss rod works properly.

Visual condition: 9 out of 10 – very good condition. The guitar shows minor, standard signs of use that do not affect the wood structure.

Setup and Modifications: The instrument features factory US pickups. Works included copper electronics circuit shielding, fret dressing, lacquer and hardware conditioning, and intonation setup.

Why choose this instrument

Factory USA Pickups: The use of the Fender USA Single-Coil set eliminates the need to upgrade the electronics to higher-end models.

Alder Body: Models designated with the number 75 utilized alder, as opposed to cheaper versions built from basswood.

JB Neck Profile: The 38 mm nut width facilitates navigation in the first neck positions compared to PB models.

Ready to play: After performing service works, including fret dressing and full shielding, the bass is ready to play without additional luthier visits.
