Trouble with MIJ Jazzes, excellent as they are, is that the second buyer gets 'em for half price.  IMHO of course, YMMV. Not planning to sell my MIJs anytime soon.

| | | | Whoa... How does one go about procuring these Japanese models? These are so much cooler looking than what we get here in the US

| | | | Price is still a little silly - I haven't played many Japanese Fenders but it just seems like much.

| | | | Nice bass. Dig the P/J. Price is comparable to road worn jazz. MIJ stuff has a reputation for high quality, plus a premium for the limited run, I'd say it's a fair price. Even more so if it includes a case.
Anyway, one of Fender's more attractive offerings IMO. |

Mine is an American Std body, with an AllParts neck, and Seymour duncans (PJ), what a great combination!
That bass looks great, but I paid less than that for mine :P
