Up for sale, a 1991 Fender Precision Bass ‘57 vintage reissue model PB57-70US in excellent condition and in perfect working order. This upscale “Made in Japan” P Bass platform was produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market and is uncommon outside of its country of origin, with vintage-accurate features including spiral (threaded) bridge saddles and a USA-made split-coil pickup.
Weighing 9lbs 1oz, tonewoods include an alder body and a one-piece maple neck. The USA-made split-coil pickup delivers the warmth, sweet treble articulation, and fundamental thump that define the Precision tone, particularly round and broad with the Tone knob rolled back. This Precision Bass PB57-70US benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, comfortable action, and accurate intonation.
