Produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market and rarely seen outside its country of origin, this '62 Precision was crafted during the golden age of Fender Japan production, sporting a custom color Olympic White gloss finish.Nothing screams quintessential bass tone like a Fender Precision. Looking to capture the magic that made the early 1960s split-coil P Bass so beloved, Fender Japan released this '62 reissue with the same cosmetic appointments, as well as the warmth, articulation and fundamental thump that defines the Precision tone. The bass is a medium weight example at 9lbs, offering the sonic richness that has been the signature of this model for decades. Professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike's Guitar Bar, this bass is strung with fresh roundwound 45-105 strings and plays well with comfortable action and solid intonation.The maple neck has a slender C-shaped profile carve with nicely rounded shoulders and lightly rolled fretboard edges, measuring .800\" deep at the 1st fret and .915\" at the 12th. The thick slab rosewood fretboard is a jet black, tight-grained cut, retaining the original slender vintage-style fretwire which has its full height and well-rounded crowns, showing just a hint of wear on the crowns of frets 1-2. The scale length is 34”, the fretboard has a vintage spec 7 1\/4\"  radius, and the nut measures a full 1 11\/16\" in width. On the headstock, the vintage-style clover button tuning machines turn smoothly and hold pitch well, and the face of the headstock has a classic Pre-CBS style \"spaghetti\" logo. The \"Crafted 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 with clean chrome knurled metal knobs. The finish is accented by a vibrant glossy red tortoise pickguard, and the plating on the bridge shows light surface patina. Incredibly well-kept, cosmetic wear on the unaged Olympic White gloss finish is limited to a singular small finish chip on the treble-side edge of the neck pocket. Otherwise there’s barely a scratch on the instrument, and the ambered gloss neck profile finish is flawless.The original Fender-branded gigbag is included.","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42557422633216,"sku":"N089801","price":1599.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/products\/medium_c37f3319-bbe5-495d-bd1d-c82b93973597.jpg?v=1751529417","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/1996-fender-precision-bass-62-vintage-reissue-pb62-olympic-white-japan-cij","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
