patpatel Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) Fender (not Squire) JV Precision Bass This is one of the very rare early non-export models with Fender logo, PB62 re-issue. From the first year of JV production, neck date 9th September 1982 Black with rosewood fingerboard. Vintage reverse tuners and threaded saddle bridge. Pickups have cloth-covered wiring (which I think suggests it's the higher spec model with US pickups) Apart from two dents on the side and a few scratches in great condition. Neck looks and feels great and frets have only minor wear. 60s style (A-)neck, flat profile, 42mm at the nut. Truss rod works, low action, plays really well. Everything original except - CTS pots, Switchcraft socket, knobs and pickguard but I still have all the original parts (original white pickguard is broken). 4,4 kg Comes in original Fender leather gig bag This bass sounds amazing, strong attack, rich tone, and longest sustain I've heard in a P-bass. Unfortunately a bit too heavy for me so will have to let it go... Based in Austria, insured shipping no problem No trades More photos on request Edited January 12, 2018 by patpatel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basolas Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Hi Truss rod seems maxed out - Does it turn clockwise? Refinished? It seems like it was red before (from the dent). Nut width? Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much. no, it's not maxed out, still turns clockwise, about one quarter turn left pretty sure it's not refinished nut width 42mm Edited November 12, 2017 by patpatel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikbass Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Hello, if it's not refinished then the bass should have a turtle pickguard. Is the original still available? Edited November 26, 2017 by mikbass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the original still available? I have the identical bass and it too has a black pickguard. Looks very genuine to me. I've a couple of Jap Fenders and they play beautiful. Undercoats were sometimes made up of leftover paint that was mixed so could end up any colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulinho Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Beautiful bass! I have a Fender JV as well in white, with a white Pickguard. Dont know though if this is original. And, from the dents on my bass I can see it has a red undercoat as well, I was also wondering if it was refinished once. So, obviously not, good to know! What looks different on mine are the bridge saddles. These here seem to be the ones they used for the domestic Squier JV line, according to 21frets.com... maybe they mixed up some parts for the different series from time to time.

dave_bass5 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I had one of these when they were first released. Mine definitely had a white PG and not black. Shame as this a one looks so much nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
