It depends on the factory. Before '92, all Japanese made instruments were made by the FujiGen Gakki factory and labelled 'Made in Japan', and you're right that after '96/97 they were all labelled "Crafted in Japan". However, starting in '92, FujiGen Gakki sometimes outsourced the manufacture to Tokai Gakki (aka Tokai) or Dyna Gakki, and in this instance they were labeled 'Crafted in Japan'. So this instrument could very well be from '93/'94 if it was manufactured by one of the latter two factories.

still an excellent specimen either way!

May be, but for me the difference is in the typography, more similar to this in 1993-94. However I do not want to hinder the sale, this interesting discussion should not continue here, I think. 😉  With neck heel and electronics pics could find out more. Still a great bass, bump for sale😄

Hi anyone.

This bass it's a 1999-2002 , "Crafted in Japan" started to be used after 1997, previosly they were "Made in Japan". 

Great Mustang and nice colour.

I just bought a Precision from Nico. Great seller, excellent communication and obviously, nice bass. Recommended.
