1989-1991 Fender Japan JB62-75US '62 Jazz Bass Reissue - MIJ Fujigen J-Serial
This is a Fender Japan JB62-75US, the upper-grade '62 Jazz Bass Reissue equipped with USA pickups and vintage-style spiral (threaded) saddles. Finished in classic 3-Tone Sunburst with a red tortoise pickguard, it delivers the authentic early-'60s Jazz Bass look and feel.
The J-prefix serial number (J038090) corresponds to Fender Japan's Fujigen production period (1989-1990), and the neck pocket is stamped "JB62-75". The neck end also carries a handwritten pencil mark reading "11-25 91", so we list the build period as 1989-1991. Crafted at Fujigen during the Made in Japan era, these upper-tier '62 reissues are highly regarded by players and collectors alike.
