You could be right. I just looked at the 1990 Twang catalog and the PB70s are only shown with a black pickguard. It’s a precise fit though - all holes and neck pocket perfectly aligned.

Thanks!

For sale / trade is my Fender PB70-70US. Made in Japan in 1989/90. Very dark rosewood fretboard. Ash body - made of one piece as far as I can see. US pickups. Frets in excellent condition. A few minor dings, scratches and touch-ups here and there. Has CTS pots so these are not original. Pickguard is also likely a replacement as catalog shows PB70s with black pickguards only. Really nice looking and playing ‘70s RI Precision bass. 40mm nut width and 4.2kg. Possibly trade for Mustang bass.

For sale is my awesome 1989 Fender PB57-90 made at FujiGen. E- serial. Neck date is 6.2.89. Alder body with factory (!) nitro finish and USA electronics. Pickups and CTS pots dated 1982. The maple neck is dead straight and has a comfortable shallow C profile. Nut width is 42.86mm. Play wear on body - nothing major. Back of the neck is clean and free from dings or divots. Pickguard is s Fender American Standard one, which fitted perfectly and did not require new holes. Its the only non-stock part but I have the original white one and will be sold with the bass. Strung with LaBella LTFs. Exceptionally well made bass - love everything about it except the fact it’s 34” scale. Interested in trade for JMJ Mustang - preferably black finish.
