51 Precision re issue £600 Manchester

[keeponehandloose]

My Precision bass & fitted hard case for sale. I will list it as I believe to be correct but if the description isnt right please put me straight...

One of the early 2000's re issues with replacement pick up (Lolar?). There are a couple of small dings in lower edge and one on the upper...see photos. All the chrome is there to send this beauty right back to the 50's, all it needs is a tug bar!

Please check the serial number- you will see something scratched out, this is where the uncertainty lies. I know these were re issued in the OOties but I dont believe they came with the case.

Available to collect Manchester area but I can travel to meet up..

As I say if the comments above arent right Im happy to stand corrected.

More photos on request

That looks to me like it said Crafted in Japan so 2002-2004 build

Please world stop scratching out "Made in Japan" !

I have 2 JVs (a strat and a tele) where the phantom scratcher of Olde London Towne has struck

I love these basses, lots of warm and fat bass. Yum.

This is made sad too

As seen in a thread started today on the Specials, Horace Panter is currently rocking a Made in Japan Jazz in venues nationwide. I have one too and am equally proud of it. So yes, scratching its origin out is ridiculous!

good luck with the sale...

I've had two of these and it is the one bass that I regret selling. Unfortunately I have gone a bit mad buying kit this year so can't entertain this. It goes without saying, good luck with the sale.

I too am very puzzled why a previous owner would scratch out the Crafted in Japan bit. The MIJ / CIJ used to be really rated in the early days of Basschat but that aside... it's, um, on the back of the neck!!!?!!!

Cool looking bass. I have owned 3 Made in Japan jazzes and a Crafted in Japan P bass and they have all been excellent instruments. I’m currently in love with a Squier early 80’s medium scale P bass. 😍

This is now up for sale on other forums as well as here....

Can't understand this practice myself - all the Fender & Squier Japan basses I've played have been absolutely top notch. More consistent than US Fender stuff I'd say....
Lovely looking bass btw
