AnalogBomb Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Hi Folks,[/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Just after a bit of help and wisdom really! I acquired this somewhat lovely P Bass in a trade some months ago. The guy I got it from was totally honest with me and said that the person he got it from claimed it was a Japanese P Bass body, but not the original neck. You can tell this as it has a Fender Big Block Logo on it and has been finished really well – you’ve got to get it under a light to tell that it is actually a decal! [/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]It has a plate on the rear of the neck with some form of serial number, but again, this is not original. I just wondered if anybody had ever seen a similar body? It is a really nice bass and has a SD Basslines pup in it. Sounds great and plays really well.[/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]If somebody could shed some light as to its origins, or where I could find out some more info, I’d be most grateful.

Bassman Steve Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Looks remarkably similar to either of my Fender Japanese 75 reissue Precisions on which I've put a Bass Doc tort plate to make it look early 70's. It could be alder or basswood depending on the model. May need more info and pictures for someone to nail it down specifically. Quote
AnalogBomb Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 Cheers Steve, what sort of info would be useful? I've had the neck off and there are still no clues! Quote
