It's the different factories that made them. MIJ Fenders & Squiers were originally made by Fujigen Gakki, who, as I understand it, have exclusive use of "Made In Japan" on their Fender products. CIJs were sourced from at least two other factories, Dyna Gakki and Tokai Gakki.

I think MIJs largely stopped in the late 90s, so most recent Japanese Fenders will have been CIJ, with as far as I know, an occasional MIJ/Fujigen batch from time to time. There's not any quality differentiation between the factories.

This was the case while Fender Japan was operated by Kanda Shokai/Yamano Gakki, I know that relationship came to an end a few years ago, but I don't know who's responsible for current Japanese Fenders.

Completely amazing your knowledge is ,very interesting,thanks again 

Thanks 

Probably already discussed  on basschat but Made in. Japan or Crafted in Japan,what is the difference?and why Fender allowed that to happen,surely Made in Japan should be easy enough!also is the quality of wood and the rest such as electronic is also better ? I don’t really get it !Does it mean also Fender does not make Bass in Japan any more ?but only crafted?...thanks 

How old is the bass?and if I understand the pick up are 59/62 ,thanks 

Stunning 

Me too but I’m thinking 🤔 

Ahoj,can I have the full spec,,such as neck width pick up etc ,,where are you in Czech,my wife family is from Pelhřimov thanks

If you change the capacitor to a 0.1uf one, it will bleed more of the treble away and sound a bit more "bassy".

Great thanks 

I user both all the time ,I prefer basschat as you feel you are in the community,I sold all BC THE market is more trustworthy,the feedback help too ...

Good morning,I have made some change already to my precision Mex ,stunning 60 s blue ,bridge cover ,had the neck completely check,and change the pick up to fender 63 custom,which sounds great BUT somehow a tad to bright to my ears probably due to a change of strings from  my usual rotosound swing normal gauge,my question is does it make sense to change the electronic such as the transistors ?the one I have now are the mex ,I can of looking for a fatter sound, hope my question make sense. Thanks again 

Huge in France ,there were constantly play in radio s back then ,fantastic band 

As the bass been sold?

I know this doesn’t fit the criteria in the OP, but I recently bought one of these and it’s flippin’ marvellous. Made by K&M of stuff that is kind to paint of the nitro persuasion. Bought mine from Thomann. Only holds 5, but thought I would mention it in case it is of interest to others.

That is very much what I’m looking for ,not yet decided but I like it thanks 

Could you post or message me the full  spec including neck width thanks very much

Hello I’m sure lots of people are interested including myself,and it  probably easier for us to see more pictures and hearing more comments from connaisseurs , it s basically can of norm to post more pictures,I can of understand perhaps why you don’t want too,and I respect your thoughts but ...😊

Hey J!!

Just a heads up... The rubber on some stands will damage the finish on certain guitars... Nitrocellulose finishes seem to be quite susceptible to marking if stored incorrectly.  I've even heard scare stories of rubber padding actually fusing to the guitars finish!!... 

With an ever growing family of bass guitars, space around the home can become an issue... (This is why I live in the shed)

If you are considering a multi guitar rack it might also be an idea to consider individual gig bags. 

The gig bags will;

- Better protect your “babies" from accidental damage like knocks and scrapes

- Prevent dust gathering between pickups and bridge saddles 

- Protect against UV rays

- Avoid rubber rash from PVC stands

- Offer a level of protection against sudden temperature change

- Preserve the life of the strings

 

If you do a bit of web crawling you will likely find a basic bass gig bag for between £5 & £15.  I personally think it's a small price to pay to help protect that which brings you so much joy!! 

Make sure to get the measurements right though as not all gig bags will fit a long or extra long bass guitar.
