Fender Squier Series Precision? I don't think so.

Whoever lashed that together didn't even bother to research what they are supposed to look like.

Well, first the disclaimers. I don't profess to know much about these but I do own a Fender Squier series Precision.

As far as I know the 'Fender Squier Series' basses is how the very early Japanese production Squiers were referred to. After a few months they ditched that name and were called Squier by Fender. So, in effect, we should be talking abut one of the very early (1982) JV series basses, which had a headstock and logos that looked like this:



So, a spaghetti style Fender logo.

But in any case that headstock is the wrong colour for 34 year old maple. It looks brand new - I suspect it is.

There is a good page about them here: [url="http://www.21frets.com/squier_jv/jvprecisionbass.htm"]http://www.21frets.c...ecisionbass.htm[/url]

Sorry to disagree but the black logo in that style MIM Fender "Squier" Series are quite well known. I had an early mexican Fender that was from a series that ran alongside it with the same logo but without the squier.

Ah ok thanks. I know there was an MIJ 'Squier Series' Strat made in the 90s with a similar black Fender logo (pic below) but don't know whether there were similar Js and Ps in that period.

The headstock decal says 'Made In Japan' not Mexico.

The strat looks the same, though, so I am both mystified and probably wrong about it being a fake.
