เบส Fender Traditional 60s Jazz Bass

The Japanese Jazz Bass

Known for its lighter weight, basswood was a popular option for the Japanese reissues – you can play this all day. With its pronounced midrange and overt clarity, chords weren’t lost, and more technical players had more of a chance to experiment. Featuring 2 single coil pickups with independent volume controls, there is a huge variety of tones available. Turn both pickups on full and a humbucking effect takes place, canceling the hum of a single coil and dipping the midrange opens the bass up for heavier slap and pop styles popular with the likes of Markus Miller, Jaco Pastorius, and Flea.

What To Expect

MIJ is a marker dictating a certain prestige amongst Fender players and collectors. The new Fender MIJ Traditional ’60s Jazz Bass absolutely deserves that respect and that becomes apparent as soon as you hold it. Made in a one-off run, you are rewarded with something very limited, a capsule of what will become part of Fender’s history.

Fender took over the Japanese business in 2015 and are now releasing a celebration of those MIJ stamped Fenders, paying homage to those builders whilst offering you something new.
