Fender '70 P Bass, vintage white, crafted in Japan 1999-02. It's hard to beat a creamy white P, and this is a very good one. The 1970 iteration of the Precision Bass had the bold black CBS-era logos, a black pickguard, single slotted bridge and a slightly slimmer neck than older models, with a 40mm nut. This sleek creature gets all those appointments to match, and is dressed to kill in gorgeous aged white. The USA pickup and alder body lend this a bit of extra teeth and snap than other MIJ examples, but it's still got that fat, warm, punchy P growl and absolutely does the trick well. There's a lot to like here, and these never seem to last long. Phantastic.
