History (Fujigen) ZJ-CFS Jazz Style Bass – Made in Japan – Sunburst
This History ZJ-CFS Jazz Style Bass is a killer example of Fujigen-built Japanese craftsmanship — a brand that remains one of the best-kept secrets in high-end bass guitars.
Built in the legendary Fujigen factory in Japan (the same facility responsible for many of Fender Japan’s most desirable instruments), History guitars and basses were produced for the Japanese domestic market and are known for their exceptional build quality, premium components, and attention to detail.
Based on comparable serial formats and known examples, this instrument (Serial: H030408) most likely dates to circa 2003–2004.
This bass is 100% original and features classic Jazz Bass styling with upgraded electronics and the highly regarded C.F.S. (Circle Fretting System), designed to improve intonation, sustain, and overall tonal clarity. This guitar is easily 9/10 overall condition - EXCELLENT - showing little signs of use. The frets are in great shape. The neck, frets electronics and hardware are all in perfect working order.
It has been fully inspected and professionally set up here at BCR Music & Sound with low, comfortable action and excellent playability. The neck is straight with proper relief, and the electronics function perfectly.
These are seriously underrated instruments — offering Custom Shop-level quality at a fraction of the price.
