KJB-MIO \"Mio Akiyama Model\" Jazz Bass - 3-Tone Sunburst\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the officially licensed K-ON! KJB-MIO bass, built to echo the 3-Tone Sunburst Jazz Bass played by Mio Akiyama in the anime series K-ON!. It was released in Japan only and in limited numbers, so it seldom comes to market outside the domestic Japanese scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KJB-MIO takes its cues from the Fender Japan JB62-style Jazz Bass seen in the show: alder-era offset styling, a tortoiseshell pickguard, chrome hardware and a classic two-single-coil layout. Although it was sold as a fan item, the instrument itself is a proper, fully playable Jazz Bass type rather than a novelty piece, and it is now collected as much as it is played. This particular example is the right-handed version (the left-handed variant is the one that mirrors the anime exactly).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e== SPECIFICATIONS ==\u003cbr\u003e- Model: K-ON!

The KJB-MIO is the bass that put countless players on the instrument, and it delivers the familiar Jazz Bass voice - clear, articulate, and easy to sit in a mix - while carrying the Mio Akiyama signature on the headstock. As a Japan-only release, it is difficult to find abroad, and clean, straight-necked examples like this one turn up less and less often. Equally at home on a stand as a display piece or plugged in for rehearsal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease feel free to message with any questions before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSETUP \u0026amp; INSPECTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCleaned, set up, and inspected by our luthier before shipping:\u003cbr\u003e- Neck relief and action adjusted\u003cbr\u003e- Frets and fingerboard cleaned\u003cbr\u003e- Intonation set\u003cbr\u003e- Tuners and electronics checked\u003cbr\u003eYour instrument arrives ready to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHIPPING FROM JAPAN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Shipped worldwide from Japan with full tracking and insurance\u003cbr\u003e- Carefully packed with protective wrapping, strings detuned to relieve neck tension in transit\u003cbr\u003e- Processed and shipped within 2-4 business days\u003cbr\u003ePlease message us with any questions before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reverty Used Guitars Japan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50036006158578,"sku":"KON_KJBMIO_0402","price":92700.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/3113\/3426\/files\/01_7ae424fd-e2aa-4285-aabc-534de3ab3c31.jpg?v=1788767179","url":"https:\/\/revertyjapan.com\/products\/2009-k-on-kjb-mio-mio-akiyama-jazz-bass-3-tone-sunburst-right-handed-w-case","provider":"Reverty Used Guitars Japan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
