(ARCHIVE) Used Fender Precision Bass '62 Capri Orange CIJ
- Description
- Guitarchives
Fender P-bass, crafted in Japan 1997-00, in awesome capri orange finish. This bass looks fantastic! You don't see many orange P's around, it sure is eye catching. The PB-38 is a one of the more basic '62 reissue style models by Fender Japan, but a previous owner has upgraded the pickup with a passive USA Dimarzio, so it's packing plenty of punch. It has a big, warm growl with a nicely balanced midrange. The body is very light and resonant, it's very easy on the back! The neck has a nice matte-finish on the back, it's an effortless player that's hard to put down. This is a seriously cool P-bass with the tone to match.
