If you look at any of these J-Craft basses from this year, they have Made in Japan on the headstock but no country of origin above the neck serial number. As I understand it, they are from the Crafted In Japan years. I think it may be they were non-export but I'm no expert on the vagaries of Fender Japan production/serialising. The nut is a fraction shy of 42mm, the 40 mm Japan P's you refer to are the 70's re-issues.

Cheers Dunc, hope you & yours are fine. I've seen quite a few Fender Japan basses out at "optimistic" prices of late. The price, imo, is fair to buyer & seller.

As per title. £650 collected from Darlington with hard case, £620 with no case or gig bag. A Fender Precision bass, Made in Japan by people in a factory putting bits of wood, plastic & metal together. Sounds like a Precision. Weight 9lb 5oz. New Dunlop Superbrights 40 to 100 New black scratchplate custom made by Bass Doc to give it a more 70's look. Original white plate included. A better advert than mine, link. https://www.gasstationguitars.com/product-page/fender-japan-2004-vintage-white-standard-precision-bass-cij ISSUES. Dent in back, a few tiny dints around the edges, difficult to photo. Saddle screws are daft high, it will bother some, it doesn't bother me, I don't know what palm mute means. Ahem. REASON FOR SALE. Object of lust has been spotted & funds towards it are required. MEET UP. Yes, will travel roughly as far as Alnwick, Penrith, Ferrybridge for a half way meet. COURIER. Yes, I give you weight & dimensions, you organise & pay for it. TRADES Very unlikely BUT if the object of my lust sells, I may well be tempted with an American Special P or Mex Road Worn P plus suitable quids your way.

Have you got the strap pins for this Martyn? It's a wonderful looking thing!

Most bargainacious you, erm, muppet 😁 Good luck, top bloke to deal with.

60th anniversary of Fender the company, not the Precision.

Hiya Mark. The reason I bought one originally in 2020 was I had to learn the track linked below, for Whole Hog. Saw the video, it had to be done 😁

You should know you took the photos. Hiya Tom hope you are ok. 9lb on the luggage scales fella.

Edit.

Edit. CBA.

As new, surplus to requirements. Scratchplate & tug bar removed for that JPJ/Sting look, both included. Unlike most early 50's re-issues this has the Tele style headstock BUT a modern C neck profile and a 41.3mm nut width. Not a baseball bat like most. It also has an arm contour, another good thing. I'm taking a £100 hit on this after about 3 months of it sat there doing nowt. Truss rod nut is not made of cheese unlike some of the 2020 basses. I've set this up for me & there were no problems with the truss rod nut at all, moves both ways. I don't want a trade but I do keep looking at the Squier CV 70's Precision especially the black with black blocks. And I'm weak. Collection from Darlington preferred, try through your rig or mine. I will meet up within about 50 miles Courier. I'll box it & give you the dimensions, you would need to organise & pay. That way you will know how much courier insurance costs! Feedback Thanks for looking, Karl.

Indeed Ivory & low production numbers with excellent reputation for being a bit special. I feel the need to move a product of Santa Anna to fund this wonderful bass. Top bloke to deal with as well 👍
