Up for sale is my Fender Japan Junior Jazz bass (Short Scale 30"), purchased from Danny Stewart at Bass Japan Direct in November 2023.

Made in Japan Junior Jazz Bass These are made by Fender in Japan but not sold in North America for some dumb reason. The body is scaled down to 94% and is the normal Jazz shape, so the body fits the shorter scale neck. It feels like a Jazz bass with its narrow 1.5" nut width. Satin Vintage...
