In 2021, to mark the band's 15th anniversary, Scandal's bassist Tomomi launched her latest signature Fender Jazz Bass®. This guitar features a unique 'Clear Fiesta' finish that shows off the transparent wood grain, combined with a mint - green pickguard and cream - coloured pickup cover reminiscent of the early 1960 - 1961 JAZZ BASS®. The stack knobs create a never - seen - before look. It has an Alder body and a vintage - style bridge. The Pure Vintage '64 Single - Coil Jazz Bass® pickups deliver a thick, classic tone. The neck has a slim 'C' grip similar to the American Professional II. Tomomi blends modern elements into a balanced vintage style, like a 5 - point neck plate for better joint strength despite the cut heel, and non - reversed Pure Vintage '70s tuning machines with the Fender® Logo. Specifications include a Jazz Bass® body shape, Alder body material, Gloss Polyester finish, Rosewood fretboard, 9.5' (241 mm) fretboard radius, 34' (86.36 cm) scale length, 20 medium jumbo frets, white dot inlays, Pure Vintage '64 Single - Coil Jazz Bass® pickups (bridge and middle), 4 - Saddle Vintage - Style bridge, 3 - Ply Mint Green pickguard, nickel - plated steel strings (.045-.100 gauges), Pure Vintage '70s tuning machines with Fender® Logo, nickel/chrome hardware finish, and comes with a Deluxe Gig Bag.
Using this Fender Japan Tomomi Signature Scandal Jazz Bass is easy. First, tune it up using the tuning machines with the Fender® Logo. Plug it into your amplifier and start strumming. When you play, the Pure Vintage '64 Single - Coil Jazz Bass® pickups will give you that thick, classic tone. For a unique look, the mint - green pickguard and cream - coloured pickup cover add a touch of style. When it comes to maintenance, keep it in the Deluxe Gig Bag when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to prevent corrosion. Also, check the bridge and tuning machines regularly to make sure they're in good condition. And be careful when handling it to avoid any accidental bumps or drops that could damage the body or neck.
