Christophano Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hiya fellow Basschatters, my Fender MIJ (Made in Japan) Precision bass with [/font][/color][color=red][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Foto Flame[/font][/color][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828] finish is up for sale. Unfortunately, I'm having to sell some of my gear because of finances... Children cost fortune! It has literally sat looking pretty on a stand in my front room for the last year and gets picked up for a play once in a while. [/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The Serial Number is S010809. Which according to the guitardaterproject.org means it was made between 94-95 in the Fuji-gen Plant (for Fender Japan) which apparently is one of the good ones.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The bass has a John East P-retro Preamp along with Nordstrand NP4 pickups, it also has Legacy strings, which are actually pretty decent. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]As the bass has a [color=red]Foto Flame[/color] finish it has cracks all over it[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] which I have tried to show in the photos below. Also one of the previous owners seems to have attacked the truss adjuster[/font][/color][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]. The nut has a crack in it, but it doesn't seem to effect how it plays. I've tried to show the scratches in the pictures, but they don't really come out in pictures and you can't really see them if you are a few feet away from the bass. Mojo that adds to the character, of course. :-)[/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The bass comes with the preamp charger and a decent hard case. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]SOLD![/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Here is my feedback [/font][/color][url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/103331-christophanos-feedback/page__p__1750782__hl__christophano__fromsearch__1#entry1750782"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1750782[/url] Edited December 8, 2012 by Christophano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophano Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Very soon I know, but I've changed the price to move this along a quicker. Bills aren't going to pay themselves. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) Is it as green as the pics make out? It's got a bit of a Burns vibe to it! Very cool bass. Edited December 2, 2012 by Cosmo Valdemar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem very green in real life. *Gets eyes tested* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee_king Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hi Can I be cheeky and ask what this sold for please? I have this exact same bass (but completely original and in better condition with a white scratch plate) and was looking for another spare one the same.

Astrosmurf Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I was just going to ask the same question Shippo, i emailed Fender in American to find out a little more about these and apparently they cant tell me much as the Japanese made them without the fotoflame necks that they should have had and put 57 RI's on them. Mines identical to this and the only other one that i knew of is a guy in Hungary i beleive who contacted me when i first asked for info on mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
