Please help recognizing MIJ P57-95 "USA" Pickup (pics inside)


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi guys, I've seen a very nice Fender P here locally.
It's a '93 Made in Japan Precision (PB57-95, the same you can see here: [url]http://brochures.yokochou.com/guitar-and-amp/fenderjapan/1993/en_08.html[/url] 2TSB one).
It has nitro finish, 2 matched pieces alder body and should also have CTS pots and supposedly an USA pickup. I know that certain MIJ reissues got an "american vintage" pickup (which actually could be the same pickup used on fender AM STD/Deluxe basses, after further research here on the forum). Anyway, this one looks different from the more recent RI pickups (here you can see an example of the newer one: [url]http://img12.rajce.idnes.cz/d1202/6/6114/6114346_1c5991c26c44fd4eea3815e700287a4f/images/IMG_3474.jpg[/url] )


TL;DR: Here are the pics of the pickups / pots i'm trying to identify. I'd really appreciate some help before I pull the trigger on this bass.

I think the ones in yours look like I would expect...

the way to tell is the nitro- if it is nitro then it's a top top top of the fender japan range - go for it!

(though possibly the cap has been changed for an orange drop at some point.

And what would you expect exactly? :D
It looks very similar to American Vintage Reissue pickups, save for the plastic wiring instead of cloth
