Up for sale, a 1989 Fender Precision Bass ‘62 vintage reissue model PB62-70 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This upscale “Made in Japan” bass was crafted at the venerable Fujigen factory during the golden era of Fender Japan, featuring vintage-accurate touches including long stem clover-button tuners with full-size baseplates and spiral (threaded) saddles.
The tonewood complement comprises an alder body and a maple neck capped with a slab rosewood fretboard, and this bass has a resonant, authoritative acoustic response translated via the original USA-made split coil pickup. Featuring cloth-covered leads, alnico magnets and black fiber bobbin construction, this pickup delivers quintessential P Bass thump, particularly with the Tone knob rolled back, and the trebles are sweet and growling. Weighing 8lbs 5oz, this Precision Bass has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, comfortable action, and accurate intonation.
The maple neck has a slender C-shaped profile with generous shoulders, gently increasing in heft and roundness up the fretboard, measuring .815” deep at the 1st fret and .965” at the 12th. The slab rosewood fretboard has a vintage-spec 7 1/4“ radius, lightly rolled edges, and practically perfect slender fretwire. This bass plays cleanly up the 34” scale with a straight neck and a responsive, optimally-adjusted truss rod, and the bone nut measures 1.675” (42.5mm) in width. On the headstock, the clover-button tuning machines have vintage-accurate large baseplates, reverse gear functionality, and long stems, turning smoothly and holding accurate pitch. The “Made in Japan” text and C-prefix serial are present above the neck plate, and the neck heel is pencil dated 11-29-89, with PB62-70 stamps both on the neck heel and in the pocket.
All of the electronics function as intended; the pickups are wired to the stock harness with untouched solder joints and full-size Japanese pots that date to November ‘89. Chrome-plated hardware includes the flat-topped knurled knobs and the bridge base with steel spiral (threaded) saddles. Plastics include the four-ply “tomato soup” red tortoise pickguard.
Cosmetic wear on the gloss Olympic White finish includes a handful of minor dings on the body as a whole, largely relegated to the lower bout perimeter, and some faint buckle rash on the back. The smooth ambered gloss on the neck profile is immaculate.
A padded gigbag is included.
