Just few words. Technically this cannot be called an American Standard Precision bass. American Standard Precision basses, firstly appeared in 1995 (in 1985 the first American Standard Jazz Bass). They all had (and still have) the strings passing through the body, and they were all produced in the Corona plant. This is what we usually call a "Precision E3 series" and was the last Precision bass serie to be made in the old Fullerton plant. Beautiful instrument: their value is increasing
