Fender Japan '62 Reissue Jazz Bass Walnut

Hi!

I'm a long time viewer, first time poster. Sorry if I make mistakes with the forum rules.

I just purchased this bass off eBay (not something I usually do by the way, I usually like to play basses before I buy them) but I just couldn't resist the finish on this bass!

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/29072097...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4544wt_1165

The listing says "2010-2012" but I did a serial search for MIJ U049796 and it came up as 1995-1996.

Is this good? Is it better that it's older, from the Fuji-gen Plant? Or did I just make a bad mistake and purchase a rubbish bass...

Any help would be great! Thanks! (sorry if the link doesn't work)
