andyneeds Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Up for sale is my 1994/95 Made in Japan Fender Precision bass, I bought this in 2018 from Bass Direct & it has only been gigged a few times & mainly used for home practice. It’s in amazing condition for the age with just very light scratches & no dents or scrapes - the nut width is 41mm ( ive just measured it) & on the bath scales it weighs 9 pounds - (although not the most accurate way to measure) I swapped the p’ups for Seymour Duncan SPB1 vintage which cost around 90 quid - no case or gig bag included so looking to sell at same price I bought for - think I have the original p’ups somewhere but the spb’s sound great ( much better) Welcome to come & try it out - collection is preferred or happy to meet half way within reason- here to answer any questions cheers Edited January 17, 2022 by andyneeds Added photos 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassistclem Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Nice. Think the Japanese P basses has an ever so slightly narrower nut width compared to most USA models, which I like. Although obv there was some variation over the years. Was about to spring for a 93 Japan Squier bass but this is a decent price. I'll have to see if I can find more funds before it sells. I'll keep an eye on it, I'm not far away in York btw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyneeds Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Yeah, it’s a great bass - I tried it against every p bass BD had in stock & this one played /felt & sounded the best ( to me )- even up against US p’s & a 60’s original - the SPB’s give it that fab vintage vibe cheers Andy Edited January 10, 2022 by andyneeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbasspecial Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 How is this amazing bass still here? If I had the spare funds I’d be all over it right now. Andy is a top bloke too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
