An engagement ring is often said to be 3 months of salary !!
In 1982, Fender's current lineup, Vintage Series, has been rampant in the direction of the company's brilliant history to restore the prestige of the Fender brand in 1982. Instead of profitability due to mass production, the quality of the '60s has been reviewed, and there is a Fender's original and reissue model here.
By becoming the rank of Vintage, the status is established, and the price in the market, like acoustic instruments, is rarely soaring.
However, even at the beginning of the launch of the 1960s, the base price was $ 199.50, BASSMAN amplifier $ 203.50, and about 70,000 yen in Japanese yen (at that time 1 $ 1 = 360 yen). In this year, a small refrigerator (90L) for ordinary households is released for about 80,000 yen, and its price is equivalent to salaried workers for 10 months.
There was also a promised market price of three months of monthly salary, but it can be understood that it is a metric that is far from one citizen compared to one or one of the three sacred treasures. In Japan, many copy models will be produced due to such circumstances. It takes about 20 years from the original release to the lightness of its quality, and the Fender JAPAN will be established in 1982 with the intention of clarifying the differentiation of many copy models and Fender original.

And the improved version of Precision Bass was newly available in 1960.
1960 Catalogue
NAMM Daily, dated July 12, 1960, describes new products:
"Fender announces the newly developed Jazz Bass. With two pickups and new circuits, the neck is thinner than PRECISION BASS.
Control for flexible high frequencies is now possible. ""
BLUES, which developed in the United States around the 1900s, developed from the musical conversation between musicians in it, creating a JAZZ format. Evolution and aging have progressed further, and in the 1960s, the music has already been approximately completed.
This is why Jazz and Bleus have developed globally because European music and African music combine and create new forms.
In the 1960s, the electrification of instruments has progressed further and the music style has changed dramatically.
Folluted in 1945, following the Electric Guitar and launching an electric bass in 1951. The background of shifting to a bass player who travels with a contrabass and moves to a bass that is compact and loud. In the Jazz scene of the 1950s and 1960s, it is the mainstream of the contrabass, but in BLUES and newly born Rock, the volume is actively increasing, and the role of BASS changes. With the change in the music form, the lineup of bass instruments has been expanded, and Fender Jazz Bass is finally born in 1960.

It's not expensive to buy a dream
In the 1960s and 70s, which appears in the masterpiece, the sound is universal and does not depend on fashion. It's no exaggeration to say that for electric bands, it's the starting point of electric bass sound, and that modern music has already been established in the '60s. It is backed by the fact that albums at the time are still selling and have gained new fan base. The model of that age used by that musician ... and color. The same sound does not come out, but the atmosphere is ... and status.
Precision bass was less than 200,000 yen in Japan, jazz bass was about 230,000 yen, and salaried workers were about 30,000 yen at the time, 10 yen from Yamanote Line Shinjuku -Harajuku, 1 cup of ramen 35 yen. I heard that this exceptional instrument began to pass on the hands of Japanese amateur players in 1977.
In addition to the sound and texture that only the ones made at that time, the sensory weight such as the smell overlap, increasing the value of Vintage.
The album I heard during the boy's era always brings a sense of security. Becoming a Vintage owner may not only own an instrument, but also get the space at the time. For bass players, it's a luxurious "supreme status". Still, why don't you go shopping for a lifetime?
