MoJoKe Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) Help needed... This is a reasonable MIJ Precision from 1994-5, but exactly what model is it please? I'm pretty sure it's not a PB62 Vintage Reissue...? Edited June 13, 2019 by MoJoKe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoJoKe Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 So, the story here is I was sold this as a PB62. The listing was very detailed, but there were only three rather blurry pictures, so I had to take a punt, but I am pretty sure from what I have been told, that this is not what I thought I was buying, but is actually a Japan domestic market "Standard" precision... if that is so, then it is A. not what I want or ordered, and B. not worth the same money... I could really do with an expert opinion here @LukeFRC maybe? Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twigman Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I don't think the PB62 had a skunk stripe or a headstock truss rod adjuster I await correction, mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 No correction necessary Twigman Definitely not a PB62 as the truss rod adjusts from the wrong end of the neck. I used to own a 1990 PB62 and can confirm that the neck on that did not have a skunk stripe. Also the decal is wrong for a PB62. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazzer Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Yes, the decal doesn't look in keeping with a 62....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Turgh Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Looks very much like my Japanese Squire from around the same era. What’s the nut width? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikNik Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) Whatever the body is, I am pretty sure that neck is an Indonesian Squier neck. Edited June 12, 2019 by NikNik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decal on the headstock and also the back of the neck heel look like they’ve been added (badly) to a cheaper neck. Particularly the serial number decal, which on every Japanese (mij or cij) I’ve ever seen have had black text for the origin and silver for the actual serial digits.

AndyTravis Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 It’s one of the non export Japan p basses, their equivalent of the Mexican standard stuff, they come up a fair bit. not a Squier Indonesian neck although I get why people have said it. neck off, model number will be on the heel or the neck pocket 👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbayne Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Well, the Disney company owns Marvel, Lucasfilm, Pixar and 2oth Century Fox. I suppose its only a matter of time before they acquire Fender! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
