Up for sale, a 2000 Fender Precision Bass ‘62 vintage reissue in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Boasting a custom color Lake Placid Blue finish with rare matching headstock, this “Crafted in Japan” Precision Bass was produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market and is uncommon outside its country of origin.
Tonewoods include a basswood body, maple neck, and slab rosewood fretboard, and this bass weighs 8lbs 6oz. The split-coil pickup delivers treble growl balanced by low end heft and smooth thump with the Tone knob rolled back. This Precision Bass benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-105 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.
