Up for sale, a 1985 Fender Boxer Series Precision Bass model PB-555 in 100% original condition and in perfect working order. A rarely seen model only produced from ‘84 to ‘87, this Boxer Series P Bass features a pair of slanted Hot Rod P-4D split-coil pickups and a contoured body with rounded edges for added comfort.
Tonewoods include an alder body, maple neck, and rosewood fretboard, and this PB-555 weighs 8lbs 14oz. Plugged in, the pair of Hot Rod P-4D split-coil pickups are round and punchy, with great inherent warmth, pillowy thump, and sweet treble articulation. The center detent Master Tone knob enables slight Boost capabilities from 5-10, and the two-way mini-toggle is a unique control that engages the central two coils (one from each pickup), with both Volume controls active, enabling very precise blending of the E/A string poles and G/D string poles. This PB-555 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Black finish exhibits faint vertical checking across the bass side on top, with limited touch-up on one small chip at the lower bout perimeter. Cosmetic wear includes mild pick scuffing, an area of shallow buckle rash adjacent to the belly carve on the back, and some minor nicks and dings. There are a few shallow marks in the smooth gloss finish on the neck profile, virtually undetectable to the palm.
The original padded faux leather gigbag is included.
