lapolpora Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) I've reluctantly decided to sell My Fender Japan 70s issue Precision. The model number is PB70-US/ASH. It's the non-export ash bodied version with maple neck and US vintage pickup. Here's a link to the model on the fender Japan site: [url="http://www.fenderjapan.co.jp/pb70-usash.html"]http://www.fenderjap...pb70-usash.html[/url] Although it's an ash body it's a very lightweight bass. It is in near mint condition. There is not a single blemish on the neck or body. Only light fingernail scuffs on the pick guard give it away as not being in showroom condition. If you look closely at the pictures you will notice that it is utterly gorgeous This was bought brand new from Mikkigakki, Tokyo and brought over for me by a friend so I am it's first and original owner. I still have the hangtag and warranty card (in Japanese) and it comes with the standard Fender Japan gig bag. Collection from Upper Norwood/Crystal Palace, South London preferred. Courier is possible. Price is £650. Please PM with any questions.

Madgrv Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Hi! Looks stunning! Is it still available? if so is it possible to hear it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapolpora Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) It is still available. You're welcome to come and try it. I can try and record a bit and post a sound cloud link, but not likely to be able to until after the weekend. …….soundwise it's the bright side of P bass - as you'd expect from an ash body and maple neck. More Steve Harris than Jamerson. But still classic P and cuts through well in a band context. Edited June 6, 2014 by lapolpora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete.young Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Lovely bass. Fender Japan not-for-export is IMHO the best blend of quality and value for money available from Fender. Have a free bump on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
