For sale is a recently acquired 1994 Fender Japan 51 Reissue P Bass in stunning condition.

It has been retro-fitted with a superb Seymour Duncan SCPB-3 pickup and a Fender high mass bridge, but the original pickup and bridge are also included. It's also been fitted with a new pair of TI flats, so plays and sounds wonderful.

Weight-wise it's around 9lbs and is in super condition. It has had the Period-correct Fender Ashtrays fitted.

I got this to fulfil my Dusty Hill fantasies but after playing my old P Bass, so this won't get much of a look in :)

I'm looking for £540. Unfortunately it doesn't have a gigbag or case, but I do have a proper guitar box to ship it in. However, this time of year with post being particularly busy, I'd rather this was picked up or a meet half-way was arranged.

The pics are from original ad, so I hope the author doesn't mind :)

I recently traded this with Nick (my damaged left hand needed a slimmer Jazz type neck profile). It is a stunner and looks like it left the factory last week, not nearly 20 years ago, and has superb upgrades (with original bridge and pickup should you wish to restore to stock). Highly recommended

Great mods on this bass - I owned one, and the first thing I did was replace the (pretty terrible) original bridge, and the weedy stock pup. This is best of both worlds - the mods everyone always makes have already been done, plus you get the original parts just in case.

Oh, and have a bump!

Deja Vu Nick :) I've still got mine/your (other) old one :)

Thanks John

It was a trade too far perhaps. I didn't really need it but as Clarky showed interest in my Jazz I thought it was worth a punt

Hope you're well :)

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1388039190' post='2317989'] Really nice looking bass Nick. What is the nut width please? Bump. [/quote]
I can answer that Karl, its 1.625", so its halfway between a Jazz (1.5") and a late 50s/60s Precision (1.75") and the same as the current US Standard Precision
