Fender Japan 75 reissue

Post by paulo »

Hi all, I am considering parting with my 75 reissue Jazz Bass in great condition, 3 tone sunburst over Ash with black pickguard, pickup covers, thumb rest and a beautiful maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, pearloid blocks and binding.
Everything is original except the pots, knobs and control plate. The ones installed are all American made.
However the original ones will also be included. The bass will be sold wit a Fended gig bag like new, same one that came with this bass when i purchased it.
Love this bass, only decided to sell it because i decided to keep the sonic blue one.
$900 and the shipping is included CONUS.

Now, does this '75 have the 4" 70s pickups spacing?

I've measured several times and keep forgetting. I will check again tonight but I think it has the 60's spacing.

That organgy mark to the left of the neck plate on the back... assuming that's a photo blemish and not on the bass itself?

Looks like the reflection from a red light as it can be seen in a couple other areas as well.

F Bass BN5 • ZON Legacy Elite 5 • ZON Sonus Elite 5 Fretless • ZON Sonus BG5 • Fender Custom Shop '64 NOS Jazz • Fender Custom Shop '75 NOS Jazz • Fender ADE Precision • Music Man SR4

That is reflection! There's not a single ding on this bass that i can see.
And the spacing between the poles is 3 1/2.

This beauty is no longer available, it has been traded.
