Up for sale, a 1990 Fender Precision Bass ‘57 vintage reissue model PB57-700 in excellent condition and in perfect working order. This “Made in Japan” Jazz Bass was crafted at the Fujigen factory during the golden age of Fender Japan production, featuring vintage-correct touches including full-size, reverse-geared tuners and spiral (threaded) bridge saddles. This bass has been upgraded with a DiMarzio Model P split-coil pickup.
Tonewoods include an alder body and a one-piece maple neck, and this P Bass weighs 8lbs 15oz. The upgraded DiMarzio Model P split-coil pickup has ceramic magnet construction, delivering pillowy low end thump and sweet treble articulation, with a notably gutsy, punchy midrange. This PB57-700 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, comfortable action, and accurate intonation.
