Fender introduced a Japan - made signature electric bass guitar for J, the bassist of the Japanese rock band Luna Sea, who has used various Precision Bass® models over the years. This guitar features a reverse headstock that reflects J's music philosophy. Its unique 'Black Gold' color, inspired by J's love for 70s vintage motorcycle helmets, changes appearance with the viewing angle and stage lighting. The one - piece maple neck from the Custom Shop has a 7.25 - inch radius and narrow - tall frets. With a 42mm nut width, it follows the 50s grip style, allowing for smooth play even during long gigs. Sound - wise, the ash body combined with the newly developed J Custom P Bass® Pickup delivers a rich mid - range that stands out even when overdriven. Specifications include a Precision Bass® body shape, ash body material, gloss polyester finish, J Custom Soft 'V' neck profile, maple fretboard, and many other high - quality components.
Using this Fender J Signature Precision Bass Guitar is a breeze. First, make sure your strings are properly tuned using the vintage - style tuning machines. You can adjust the saddle on the 4 - saddle vintage - style bridge to get the right string height for your playing comfort. When you start playing, the smooth maple fretboard and narrow - tall frets will let your fingers glide easily. For a great sound, the J Custom P Bass® Pickup will give you a rich mid - range. Just plug it into your amplifier and you're ready to go. As for maintenance, keep the guitar in the deluxe gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe the body with a soft cloth after each use to maintain the gloss polyester finish. Check the strings regularly and replace them when they start to sound dull or show signs of wear. And don't forget to keep the hardware clean to maintain the nickel/chrome finish.
