fretmeister Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Fender Japan Precision 1962-58 (1962 Re-issue) Just arrived from Japan with the best packaging I've ever seen. I've had 5 mins on it and it sounds superb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 That is lovely. I have a Jap 62 Jazz bass. Ordered from Japan, arrived in 3 days!! The necks are easily better than the American models. A real cracker you have there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Rich Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 You spent 5 minutes playing it before sharing it with us? How dare you! Japanese Fender basses are almost always great, really good value for money too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
