Why This Bass Stands Out:
The Fender Japan JBR-80R Pro Feel Series Jazz Bass is a standout model from the early ‘90s, designed to blend classic Jazz Bass aesthetics with modern playability enhancements tailored for professional players. Built at the FujiGen plant—renowned for its meticulous craftsmanship and superior quality control—this bass rivals American-made Fenders of the era and has become a cult favorite among players and collectors. The Walnut finish, a deep, warm brown with subtle wood grain accents, exudes understated elegance, making this bass a visual masterpiece that’s as rare as it is striking. With its ‘70s-inspired design, versatile tone, and Pro Feel Series upgrades, this JBR-80R delivers the perfect balance of vintage vibe and contemporary performance.
Detailed Specs:
- **Body**: Ash, delivering a resonant, balanced tone with tight lows, clear mids, and crisp highs—quintessential for the Jazz Bass sound.
- **Finish**: Walnut (gloss polyurethane), a rare, rich brown finish with a warm, vintage glow that highlights the alder body’s natural grain.
- **Neck**: Maple with a rosewood fretboard, featuring a 34” scale length and 20 medium-jumbo frets for smooth, precise playability.
- **Neck Profile**: Slim “C” shape, part of the Pro Feel Series, designed for enhanced comfort and speed, ideal for both intricate basslines and extended gigs.
- **Fretboard Radius**: 9.5” radius, offering a classic feel with modern playability tweaks for effortless string bending and note articulation.
- **Inlays**: White dot inlays with black fretboard binding, a nod to the iconic ‘70s Jazz Bass aesthetic, adding a touch of sophistication.
- **Pickups**: Two Fender Japan single-coil Jazz Bass pickups (neck and bridge), providing the classic J-Bass tone—punchy, warm, and versatile with a distinctive growl.
- **Controls**:
- Dual volume knobs (one for each pickup) for precise blending of neck and bridge pickup tones, allowing endless tonal variations.
- Master tone knob for fine-tuning brightness and warmth.
- **Bridge**: Vintage-style 4-saddle bridge with chrome-plated saddles, ensuring rock-solid intonation and sustain.
- **Tuners**: Chrome vintage-style open-gear tuners, offering reliable tuning stability and a retro aesthetic.
- **Hardware**: Chrome, in pristine condition, complementing the Walnut finish’s elegant look.
- **Nut**: Bone, 1.5” width, contributing to excellent string spacing and tonal clarity.
- **Weight**: Approximately 8.5–9 lbs, well-balanced for comfort during long performances or studio sessions.

### Sound & Playability:
The 1993 Fender Japan JBR-80R Pro Feel Series Jazz Bass is a tonal powerhouse, delivering the iconic J-Bass sound that’s defined genres from jazz and funk to rock and pop. The dual single-coil pickups offer incredible versatility: the neck pickup provides warm, round tones perfect for smooth jazz or Motown grooves, while the bridge pickup delivers bright, punchy articulation ideal for rock and funk. Blend both pickups for that signature midrange growl that cuts through any mix with clarity and presence. The alder body ensures a resonant, balanced foundation, while the maple/rosewood neck and medium-jumbo frets offer a fast, smooth playing experience. The Pro Feel Series neck profile and optimized setup make this bass exceptionally comfortable, with low action and flawless intonation, inviting hours of effortless playing for both technical bassists and groove-oriented players.

The Pro Feel Series was designed with professional players in mind, incorporating subtle enhancements like a refined neck profile and optimized fretwork for superior playability. The Walnut finish, paired with the ‘70s-style block inlays and bound fretboard, gives this bass a distinctive, high-end aesthetic that’s rarely seen, making it a standout addition to any collection. Its excellent, near-mint condition ensures it’s a prime investment for collectors, while its player-focused design makes it ready for gigs, rehearsals, or studio work. This bass is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Fender Japan history that’s as playable as it is collectible.
