Description

Early 80s Fujigen-era Greco Precision-style bass from 1981, part of the “Spacy Sound” series.

This example features a sen ash (Japanese ash) body with a sunburst polyester finish, maple neck and maple fingerboard. The fretboard on this instrument shows particularly expressive grain, adding visual character rarely seen on standard examples from the period.

The Greco / Maxon PU-P5 pickup delivers a classic, full-bodied Precision-style tone with strong articulation and clarity. The electronics appear original, although some solder joints show signs of age or prior servicing.

Currently strung with D’Addario ETB92 tapewound strings (excellent condition), providing a warm, focused low end and smooth playing feel.

Very good condition for a 45-year-old instrument. Honest cosmetic wear consistent with age. No structural repairs. Professionally set up for comfortable playability.

The truss rod functions as intended; as with many vintage instruments, adjustment range is limited and should be handled with care.

Ships from the EU – no import duties for EU buyers. Will be carefully packed for shipping. Minor setup adjustments may be required after shipping and climate adaptation.
