Here's an article debating the different JV models, including the early domestic Fender line. Guitar-oriented, but still useful. https://www.21frets.com/squier_jv/jv_quick_guide.htm This thread may also shed some light. Exact same bass as mine: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/316292-fender-jv-precision-bass/#comment-3420668

A Tony Franklin Precision fretted in Gold Amber finish for your consideration. Made 2015. Weight is 9 pounds, maybe a tad more. As you can see, screw holes for a bridge cover has been added, as well as spiral bridge saddles. This has been my go-to bass for gigs the last 3 or 4 years - it has served me very well. Has a few battle scars, but nothing serious. There is a ding on the body edge near the volume knob visible in the third picture. Overall in very good condition. Comes with the original Fender hardcase. I can ship this from Norway to the UK or EU for approx. £40. Paypal is preferred. This is also for sale locally. Feel free to ask if you need more info. Thanks for looking! Ole

I'm selling my 1982 PB57-95 Fender Precision. This is a very early JV-serial out of the FugiGen factory in Japan. Serial# is JV05681. Produced 22nd of June 1982 (hand written with pencil on neck heel). This is the hi-end model intended for the domestic japanese market back in the days - it has nitrocellulose lacquered body and neck, "grey bobbins" pickup and is lightweight (3,8 kg or 8.37 lbs). Mods: Thumb rest, bridge cover and pickup cover added later on. Pots and capasitor replaced with hi-quality components (CTC and Sprague Orange Drop). The knobs are probably replaced. All else in original condition. Amazing condition considering this one is over 40 years old. Rare as hens teeth. Sounds big and mighty. Read more about this piece of Fender history at https://www.21frets.com/ Nut width on these were a tad narrower than its american counterparts - it's a comfy 42,6 mm. No hard case on this, sorry. I can ship this from Norway to the EU or UK for approx. £40, depending on your location. This is also for sale locally. Feel free to ask any question you might have. Paypal preferred. £1500 or highest bidder. Thanks for looking! Ole
