Up for sale is a 1983 Fender Jazz Bass ‘62 Vintage Reissue, made in Fullerton, California – one of the earliest and most desirable reissue periods in Fender history.
Fender began focusing on high-end vintage reissues in 1982, just one year before this bass was made, laying the foundation for what later became the Custom Shop.
This is technically a Masterbuilt!
These instruments were essentially “pre-Custom Shop” builds, crafted with significantly more attention to vintage accuracy and quality than standard production models.
This is a true Fullerton-era instrument, built before Fender’s production moved, making it highly collectible and increasingly hard to find in this condition.
This bass, particularly in Olympic White, was produced only in a few hundred examples according to available data. That limited production makes it a genuinely rare and highly collectible instrument!
100% ALL ORIGINAL – no modifications, no changed parts. A rare opportunity to own a completely original vintage reissue. Original hardshell case included
Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Fully functional with no issues. Shows natural wear consistent with age (over 40 years old), adding to its authentic vintage character.
Key Features:
