(SOLD) Fender Made In Japan Hybrid 50s Precision Sunburst 2018
Fender MIJ Hybrid 50s Precision Bass, sunburst, made in Japan 2018. This is the more recent take on the classic '57 style P, and it's a whole lot of fun. You get some trad 50s style features: single ply guard, two tone finish, spaghetti decal, maple board... tied with a 60s style 42mm nut and slimmer neck with a modern 9.5" radius. This one has been blessed with an upgraded wiring harness and brass saddles, so that adds some extra clarity and sparkle to the tone. There's heaps of classic P-pinch on offer, with a tasty round low-end and a growly midrange.The other fun thing with this particular example is the weight: at 3.535kg, it might just be the lightest Fender P we've ever had in the shop. Despite the light body, it's still well balanced in the hands and doesn't really dive. Perfect for those long lonely nights!
