ash Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) If you can’t afford an original early Fender Precision bass how about this? It’s a gorgeous 1982 non-export JV Precision Bass made in Japan allegedly to the specs/blueprint of pre CBS Fender. The bass differs from the JV export series in that it has none reverse tuners and a bridge with single thread saddles. The bass is completely original and was imported from Japan and used in a studio for several years before I recently bought it. The neck is lovely quite shallow with a vintage feel without the width and clubbiness of some later P basses. A clean dark rosewood board, slim frets and a low action. Truss rod has plenty of play. The two piece body is made of highly figured Sen Ash. It’s light weight at just over 8lbs with a nice balance. Pickups sound great and everything works as it ought too. The sunburst has a true vintage vibe to it and is in very good condition for a 35 year old working bass! The original owner even had it featured on the 21frets JV website gallery! I didn’t think I’d be selling this but something very special turned up yesterday that I couldn’t resist and as I already own three JVs one had to go. I haven’t had opportunity to bond with this one so last in first out. This really is a lovely vintage quality collectible bass for not much money. Sorry no trades and no none UK buyers please - there isn’t a case or bag so pickup preferred but I will post insured at buyers cost. Thanks Some very high quality pics of this bass prior to my ownership here - http://www.21frets.com/squier_jv/gallery12.htm Edited October 1, 2017 by ash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsmedunc Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 And another great bass for sale! The necks are great on these. Very shallow for a P. Certainly not a club like many of the USA around at the time. Excellent balance too. Love mine and can't imagine ever selling it now. A replacement would have to be really really special.
