silverfoxnik Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Hi Folks Don't often do this but with this one I thought I must.. So, there I was in my local music shop in Bognor Regis (Mike's Music) buying some strings when I saw this hanging on the wall looking a bit unloved.. Being the kind chap that he is, Mike let me have a trial with the bass and after spending some time with it at home, I realised it was a must have.. As far as I can tell from the serial number, its a Made in Japan 1991/2 Fender Precision. Sounds great, beautiful Ash body and maple neck and is in brilliant condition for a 27 year old bass. Happy days, or should I say, happy NBDs! Thanks for looking.. 😊 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr4stringz Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Lovely bass! There’s something about the feel and tone of 90s MIJ Fenders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckman67 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Stunning looking bass, love the big 70's logo 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 Cheers Folks, Been playing it all afternoon and it's great.. 😊 Fabulous tone, sort of thick and woody but if you open the tone control all the way up, it gets much more clanky! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burno70 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Lovely! I love wood/black pickguard fenders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Gorgeous - Precisions don't come much better-looking than that - or better made, considering the era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 Cheers chaps! 😊 @obbm - it's not the lightest of basses Dave being Ash, but it's not the heaviest either. I should weigh it actually.. 🤔 @burno70 - yep, me too. I've a 5 string bass with the same Ash body, black pickguard configuration. @Bassassin - absolutely; it's really well put together..

gareth Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Nice bass. I think, and I could be wrong, they put american pups in some of these and the more expensive tuner type indicates that yours should be American but i could be wrong something to google and research maybe enjoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu_g Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 very nice bass,reminds me of my old 70s precision ,though I imagine yours hasn't got a big neck pocket gap being Japanese lol! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
