Fender '62 Reissue Precision Bass, made in Japan 1989-90, classic three tone sunburst. There's something perfectly 'right' about these mid-Fujigen-era P-models; this one just adds up perfectly in the hands. It's light and very loud unplugged; you can really feel the notes in your chest before you even plug it in. Once powered up, it gets better: this doles out the creamy, smooth P-tone with absolute ease. It's an easy player, so it's very simple to dial in a fat tone and let your fingers do the rest. The sunburst/tort/rosewood combo never goes out of style, and this one does it well. It's in very good shape considering it's approaching thirty, there's really not a whole lot of wounds from surviving through all sorts of musical trends and fads over the years. This is gimmick-free: classic finish, well made, plays and sounds great, works a treat. Long live the P!
