- Description
- Guitarchives
Fender J-Craft Standard Precision Bass, olympic white, crafted in Japan 2004-5. Can't go wrong with a white P, right? These Japan Standard models are awesome; it's based off the classic 62 Precision, but with the 90s style decals and a satin finish neck. It feels great in the hands: light and snappy, slick neck, well balanced and very precisely made. This one has had a full wiring upgrade and a tasty Duncan Quarter Pound pickup dropped in, so it's got a mammoth big fat tone with heaps of rounded, hefty low end. The white finish has a few knocks and bruises but wears it with pride; it has a super slick classic aesthetic. These never last long, so don't wait too long hey?
