Hi everyone!

I've got new bass. It says that its Fender Jazz Bass 75-95 Order Made:

Neck-inlays are different from classic '70th RI basses, and it looks so:

Head of the neck is painted:

Fullview of guitar:

What means label "Order Made"? Is it somelike "Japanese custom shop" ? :wink:
Who know another "Order Made" models? Can Fender help in finding specs of the instrument?

I found the info below on this web site;
http://home.provide.net/~cfh/fender.html#serial

Japanese Serial Numbers on Peghead Decal
Note the lack of S, E, N series. These are reserved for U.S. made Fenders in their corresponding decade. BUT note that the "E" and "N" series does sometimes appear on "made in Japan" models. I believe this was a mistake on Fender's part using the same prefix for both U.S. and Jap-made guitars. In any case, if it says "made in Japan", then it is...
JV + 5 Digits = 1982 to 1984
SQ + 5 Digits = 1983 to 1984
E + 6 Digits = 1984 to 1987
A + 6 Digits = 1985 to 1986
B + 6 Digits = 1985 to 1986
C + 6 Digits = 1985 to 1986
F + 6 Digits = 1986 to 1987
G + 6 Digits = 1987 to 1988
H + 6 Digits = 1988 to 1989
I + 6 Digits = 1989 to 1990
J + 6 Digits = 1989 to 1990
K + 6 Digits = 1990 to 1991
L + 6 Digits = 1991 to 1992
M + 6 Digits = 1992 to 1993
N + 6 Digits = 1993 to 1994
O + 6 Digits = 1994 to 1995
P + 6 Digits = 1995 to 1996

Hope this helps you.

Yep. Japanese Custom Shop of sorts. There were basically 3 Fender Japan distribution channels. 1. Mass produced for export. 2. Mass produced for domestic sale. 3. Domestic custom orders for the professional market in Japan. Many higher end Fender Japan models like this one were only available on special order, hence the order made stamping. The only way to get one was to go to a Fender dealer in Japan, order it from the catalog and pick it up at the dealer where you ordered it. You could contact Fender and try to get specs but I wouldn't count on FMIC having that. If the spec sheet still exists it might only be available in Japan.
