(SOLD) Fender Japan '62 Precision Bass PB62-95DMC Sunburst 2004
Fender '62 P, sunburst, made in Japan 2004-5. How very slick, right? This is a tasty vintage-style Precision, but in a fun twist, it's a rare high end model with some saucy specs. First up, it's got a Dimarzio pickup, which delivers enhanced low-end and a bit more grunt than the standard offering. It's also got a two-piece, centre-joined alder body, a nitro topcoat finish, deluxe reverse reverse tuners, CTS pots... all the nice stuff. That adds up to a super smooth, immediate, satisfying tone with gorgeous complexity balanced by a thumping fundamental note. The neck is a moderate C shape, comfy and agreeable in the hands and blessed with some gorgeous rosewood on the board. This will easily outclass all but the best of production model USA stuff for tone and feel, it's a very convincing bass. So yes, very slick indeed.,
