Hello, Up for sale we have a lovely Fender Precision Bass E Series Made in Japan circa '84-'86 possibly matsumoku/fujigen going by the high quality.  This is an early example of when Fender began moving instrument production to Japan and its really a nice bass to play and the fit and finish surpasses many modern MIJ or USA made instruments.  Wonderful Olympic white finish with a 3 ply white/black/white scratch plate. A hard rock maple neck with rosewood fretboard and good frets. Really comfortable to play as well. I have tested the truss rod and it functions as it should. It is accessible at the heel of the neck.  Light weight. Approx 4-5kg. High quality full size tuning heads. This is a very resonant bass with plenty of sustain. Standard 34" scale length. The body has a few nicks and scratches here and there which I have tried to illustrate in the pictures.  The electrics are all stock to my knowledge. Looks like 3 replacement screws have been used on the scratch plate. This instrument was passed down by a friend who had owned it since the early 90s. Quite possibly the second owner from new. I can try to find out more info for those interested in the history. This is a fine bass and a collectible piece of Fender history for the player or enthusiast/collector. Sadly, I have no hard case for this but I can provide a gig bag and it will be very well packed for protection during transit.  Cash on collection also welcome. Overseas bidders, please contact me for shipping quotes prior to purchase.  Thank you for looking and please check out my other great items for sale.
The season of giving is nearly upon us so I have decided to reduce the BIN price on this item. Happy Holidays
