ale29 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Hi guys, I've seen a very nice Fender P here locally. It's a '93 Made in Japan Precision (PB57-95, the same you can see here: [url]http://brochures.yokochou.com/guitar-and-amp/fenderjapan/1993/en_08.html[/url] 2TSB one). It has nitro finish, 2 matched pieces alder body and should also have CTS pots and supposedly an USA pickup. I know that certain MIJ reissues got an "american vintage" pickup (which actually could be the same pickup used on fender AM STD/Deluxe basses, after further research here on the forum). Anyway, this one looks different from the more recent RI pickups (here you can see an example of the newer one: [url]http://img12.rajce.idnes.cz/d1202/6/6114/6114346_1c5991c26c44fd4eea3815e700287a4f/images/IMG_3474.jpg[/url] ) TL;DR: Here are the pics of the pickups / pots i'm trying to identify. I'd really appreciate some help before I pull the trigger on this bass.

LukeFRC Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I think the ones in yours look like I would expect... the way to tell is the nitro- if it is nitro then it's a top top top of the fender japan range - go for it! (though possibly the cap has been changed for an orange drop at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ale29 Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 And what would you expect exactly? It looks very similar to American Vintage Reissue pickups, save for the plastic wiring instead of cloth A couple more photos: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
