1982 Fender JV Precision Bass ‘57 Vintage Reissue PB57-70 Olympic White Ash Body, Japan MIJ Fujigen
1982 Fender JV Precision Bass ‘57 Vintage Reissue PB57-70 Olympic White Ash Body, Japan MIJ Fujigen
Up for sale, a 1982 Fender Precision Bass ‘57 vintage reissue model PB57-70 in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. A first-year Fender Japan model made at Fujigen, this Precision Bass was part of the JV (Japanese Vintage) series which paralleled early Fender vintage reissue production at Fender's Fullerton, CA factory, with vintage-correct features include reverse gear tuning machines and threaded bridge saddles.
Tonewoods include an ash body and a one-piece maple neck, and this P Bass weighs 10lbs 1oz. The black bobbin split-coil pickup features vintage-spec raised A string pole pieces and delivers plenty of pillowy thump, rich growl and round treble punch. This Precision Bass PB57-70 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Olympic White finish presents cleanly, with an area of buckle rash on the back central to the waist and some minor dings on the body, largely limited to the lower bout perimeter. The ambered gloss on the neck profile is smooth and clean save for a few shallow nicks behind frets 8-10 that are not distracting to the palm while fretting.
A vintage black tolex hardshell case is included.
