Key Features
The Fender Made in Japan Traditional Late 60s Jazz Bass RW is a classy, road-ready take on a timeless bass. Built with a gloss finished basswood body for punch and balance, it pairs a 9.5"-radius rosewood board to a comfortable “U”-shape maple neck that feels instantly familiar in the hand. Vintage-style frets and white pearloid block inlays nail the late-sixties look, while the 3-Colour Sunburst finish and eggshell guard complete the vibe. It’s a slick, gig-friendly instrument with the feel and response players expect from a proper Jazz Bass
Under the fingers it’s quick and articulate, and the pickups give you that classic J growl. A matched set of Traditional-series single-coils delivers focused midrange, tight low end and glassy top, with independent volume controls to blend the two pickups and a master tone to set the bite. A vintage-style 4-saddle bridge keeps things solid and intonated, and the lollipop tuners add period charm with dependable stability. From clean studio takes to gritty stage sets, this MIJ Traditional gets the look, feel and sound just right

The MIJ Traditional Late 60s Jazz Bass nails the era’s look and feel. A gloss basswood body in 3-Colour Sunburst sets the scene, paired with a 3-ply eggshell guard and white pearloid block inlays for that unmistakable period aesthetic. It’s tidy where it needs to be and full of character where it counts, delivering a proper vintage presence on stage without feeling precious. If you want classic J style with dependable modern build, this is squarely in the pocket
The 34" scale and a comfortable 9.5" radius rosewood board make long sets easy on the hands. A “U”-shape maple neck gives a solid handful, while vintage-size frets keep the action slick and controlled. The bone nut and tidy fretwork help notes ring cleanly across the board, and the gloss urethane finish feels smooth without getting sticky under lights. It’s a familiar, confidence-boosting feel from the moment you first pick it up
Two Traditional-series single-coil Jazz Bass pickups serve up tight lows, a focused, growly midrange and that crisp top-end snap that sits perfectly in a mix. The classic V/V/T control layout lets you blend the pickups to taste. You can roll one back for a thicker thump or open both for scooped clarity and articulation. From rounded soul lines to sharper, modern bite, it covers a broad range of tones, styles, and genres with ease
A 4-saddle vintage-style bridge keeps intonation steady and the feel familiar, while vintage “lollipop” tuners add period charm with solid tuning stability. Nickel/chrome hardware is solid and durable, and looks right against the burst. The 4-bolt neck plate provides a secure joint, and the supplied nickel-plated steel strings (.045–.105) give a confident, balanced set straight out of the box. It’s a no-fuss, gig-ready package built for real-world playing
