Fender is the undisputed number one brand of electric guitars and basses.
It is loved by countless top artists such as James Jemerson, Bobby Vega, and Michael League.
The Precision Bass was the world's first solid electric bass with frets, and quickly captivated bassists around the world.
More than half a century after its birth, its brilliance remains unchanged and beloved.
Fender Japan started in the 80's as Fender made in Japan, but unfortunately it has been discontinued and integrated into Fender itself.
However, the quality of the brand is still supported by many artists and continues to be sought after today.
Fender Japan's reputation is divided depending on the age, but this is a relatively highly regarded E-serial, made by Fujigen.
As the model name suggests, this is a replica based on the '62 Precision bass, with major modifications.
The frets have been refretted to Jescar frets, and the nut has been replaced as well.
This work was done by High End Music in Osaka, and the quality is actually very high.
The quality of the work is very high indeed, with excellent playability and no strange clunky nuances due to the work being done well.
Also, the position of the bridge seems to have been shifted backward by about 5 mm.
The distance between the saddle and the ball end is farther apart and the angle is a little looser.
The rich overtone sound caused by this also makes this particular instrument unique.
The tuning key is HIPSHOT.
Lollipop gives the look of the instrument a unique character.
The PU is a gray bobbin, probably a 1982 Fender.
And the jack has been replaced with a Puretone.
The playing is bold, strong, and rich in mid-range overtones.
The guitar has undergone major modifications, but they all fit together perfectly and are in perfect balance.
We determined that the body is alder and the fingerboard is rosewood.
These are classic specs.
If you are simply looking for a good Precisione, I really recommend it.
The frets are roughly 90% remaining.
The truss rod action seems a bit stiff, but we have confirmed that it works at least 90 degrees. It is very Fender-like.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and paintwork are in player's condition with scattered scratches, dings, and dull parts.
