Fender Boxer PB-555 Precision Bass 1985 MIJ £1000

Chance to own something very cool indeed! For sale here is my 80s Fender PB-555 😳

 

Super quirky and rare, but really cool.

This vintage Japanese made beast is a rare find that has some killer tones inside. As well as the most noticeable dual angled pickups, this has a series/parallel switch as well as a passive treble boost! 
 

I don’t know why they don’t re-produce some of these amazing 80s basses instead of regurgitating the same stuff every time (it sells, I get it) because these are so fun. 
 

Scratches and dings here and there, most notably on the headstock, but overall decent condition for a 40 year old bass. Only fault is one of the “F”s on the treble/tone knob is missing.

 

Happy to post at buyers expense. 
Trades considered, mostly looking for a USA Jaguar bass or Sandberg California VS4.

Whereabouts are you? Just wondering if collection is an option rather than post?

I've not seen one of these "in the flesh" so to speak. They look a bit like the Japan made "Lyte" basses. Are they similar weight - i.e. around 3.5 kg?

Hi! I work around Weston-super-Mare in Somerset - Collection is definitely an option!
