CIJ Fender Jazz

Why in the name of jebus did you sell a FSR Jazz...for a made in Japan one? I have owned two japanese J-basses, one was very good, the other was very bad, just like most basses. Neither of them were as good as their American counterparts

Grass is always greener I guess...

 

I have a OLB CIJ 75 RI with matching headstock, alder body and rosewood neck. It's great and worth every penny. Now I became the Lakland distributor of my country, so I am selling all non-Lakland instruments, but this blue J used to be my premiere bass. Here's the pic:

These are very well crafted, sweet instruments, it has US vintage pickups, the sound is as good as a US Fender, qualitywise, well, I dare to say it's better!

 

Here is 3 from 88 to 98. Spectacular players ALL!

 

Geddy Lee Jazz is cheap and great if you like the way it plays.

 

the blue/green one there a i have MIJ from 93 in the same colour.. great bass but hate the colour so she's getting a spray up

back on subject if ya can get a sadowsky jump on it!! my main bass is a 06 75ri cij and i have a j-retro in it as sd 3's in here.. best sounding and playing bass i have ever played.. thou i would trade for a sadowsky at the drop of a hat

 

Just recently picked up this lefty jazz from a site in Japan. I highly doubt you will find any new CIJ Fenders being sold. However, I think these instruments are top notch, especially the '75 Reissues. I've had two sar far and they were both amazing. Here the pics of the ones I've had...

 

In my humble opinion you are going to have a hard time finding used or new cij basses in Canada except for the Geddy. I also think that it would probably end up cheaper to buy from Japan than in Canada.

 

I have two CIJ Fenders. A Marcus Miller and a 63' ri fretless. I love them both.

 

Not a jazz, but CIJ. Refinished in lacquer. Lindy Fralin scpb pickup, Plays really sweet.
