Many, but not all J-Bass Specials were made from poplar and alder. This 22-fret Power Active Jazz uses a solid mahogany body.


Are all the mahogany bodied natural Chromeface?

I have a Precision Light Deluxe with a mahogany body and a a natural velvet finish. I bet many Japanese basses such as the power J-Bass Special and the P Light Deluxe from that era were made from mahogany.

Generally, Japanese Fender basses are made from basswood, while others uses mahogany, ash and alder.
