2x18 Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) My lovely Sunburst Fender Made in Japan Precision Bass ( E. serial no. made between 1984 -87 ) is up for sale. It has a Maple fretboard and has a recent set of the excellent Webstring Detroit Flats fitted. Weight is a comfortable 4.2 kg. ( 9.2 lbs ) and it comes with a decent Hard case. Its in very good condition for its age with negligable fret wear. Plays and sounds great with a easy low to medium action. Would prefer buyer to collect ( Leeds very close to Junct. 46 of M1 ) owing to recent bad experiences with postal services, but could meet up if not too far away. Any trial welcome - Not looking for any trades. -[attachment=72352:IMG_0288.JPG][attachment=72353:IMG_0289.JPG][attachment=72354:IMG_0290.JPG][attach ment=72355:IMG_0291.JPG][attachment=72356:IMG_0292.JPG][attachment=72357:IMG_0293.JPG][attachment=72 3 58:IMG_0294.JPG][attachment=72359:IMG_0296.JPG][attachment=72360:IMG_0297.JPG] Edited February 23, 2011 by 2x18
gary mac Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 If this is as good as my Jap bitsa that I recently put together, then someone should get themselves a very nice bass. Good luck with the sale.
MartyBRebelMC Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Not that this detracts in anyway from this bass at all but I don't think it's a '57 reissue. I thought '57's were 2 tone sunburst, spaghetti logo and gold anodised pick-guard, this looks more like a very nice 60's reissue. Lovely bass and good luck with the sale, I only mention the 57 thing 'cause i have a real hankering for one if i get back into playing 4 strings again.

There have been a few mentions of these on Talkbass Will.
