1994 Fender Precision Bass '62 Vintage Reissue PB62-53 Olympic White, Japan MIJ

Up for sale, a 1994 Fender Precision Bass ‘62 vintage reissue model PB62-53 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original gigbag. Designed to be sold in the Japanese domestic market and uncommon outside its country of origin, this “Made in Japan” P Bass delivers plenty of broad thump and rich treble growl. Tonewoods include a basswood body, maple neck and thick slab rosewood fretboard, offering a smooth, tonally balanced and resonant acoustic platform. The bass weighs 8lbs 9oz, benefitting from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with roundwound 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action and spot-on intonation.The maple neck has a slender C-shaped profile carve with round shoulders and lightly rolled fretboard edges, measuring .815” deep at the 1st fret and .945” at the 12th. The thick slab rosewood fretboard has a vintage-spec 7 1/4“ radius, and the slender fretwire is flawless, playing cleanly up the 34” scale with a straight neck and a responsive, optimally-adjusted truss rod. The bone nut measures 42.5mm in width (just shy of 1 11/16”), and on the headstock, the vintage-style clover button tuning machines turn smoothly and hold pitch well with light surface patina. The "Made in Japan" text and N-prefix serial are present above the four-bolt neck plate.The traditional electronics work as they should, with the original pickup wired to Master Volume and Tone controls. Hardware includes the chrome-plated lightly domed knurled knobs and four-saddle bridge with steel saddles. The Olympic White finish is accented by a "tomato soup" red tortoise pickguard, and cosmetic wear includes one moderately-sized chip and some small nicks along the lower bout perimeter, as well as a scant few tiny dings and faint scratches on the body as a whole. The neck profile retains its smooth ambered gloss.The original Fender-branded gigbag is included.
