Here is a gorgeous Fender Made In Japan PB57-70US Precision Bass in 2 Tone Sunburst, made in 1994. In great condition for a treasured 32 year old bass with truly stunning Japanese craftsmanship. This is the US version “Vintage Premium” of the Fender Japan PB57 reissue which has the Alder body, gorgeous all Maple neck with a lovely grain and original 1 ply white pickguard. so if you’re reading this, you know how fantastic these basses are. It was made at the FujiGen Gakki Plant (for Fender Japan, same factory as the JV’s), and it rivals if not beats any of my MIA Precision basses for tone and playability. If you are looking at this, you know the quality of these Japanese basses. I have a Jazz Bass also for sale, from the same Fender Japan stable (JB62-70US).
