1987-1988 Fender Japan Pro Feel Series Jazz Bass (JBR-80R) - MIJ Fujigen G-Serial
This is a Made in Japan Fender Jazz Bass from the Pro Feel series, built at the FujiGen factory during the late-1980s era of Fender Japan production. The G-prefix serial (G004064) on the neck decal dates this instrument to 1987-1988.
The Pro Feel series was Fender Japan's late-1980s take on the Jazz Bass, departing from the vintage reissue line with features such as body-mounted control knobs and a high-mass style bridge. This example wears a see-through red finish that lets the wood grain show through, paired with a tortoiseshell pickguard and a maple neck with rosewood fingerboard. A genuine piece of FujiGen-era Japanese craftsmanship from the golden age of Fender Japan.

== WHY THIS GUITAR ==
Fender Japan's FujiGen-made instruments from the 1980s are highly regarded for their build quality, and the Pro Feel series is one of the less common Jazz Bass lines of that era. With its see-through red finish, rosewood board and distinctive body-mounted controls, this bass offers authentic MIJ craftsmanship and a look that stands apart from the standard reissue models. A great choice for players and collectors of Japan vintage Fender alike.
