Vintage '86 MIJ P Bass For Sale (only)!

LOWER PRICE AGAIN Quite scarce, excellent condition, one touched up chip on side by jack, can't see it at all. She's ALL black, every screw, bridge, nut, tuners. Everything! Not sure if this series had a nickname or not. "E6" serial, all original, untouched. Plays and sounds amazing.
$450 SHIPPED. Lower 48 states only, Paypal.

I believe this was the Boxer series. Basically a pbass with a jazz special neck. Pretty sweet basses. I have one that I am thinking of selling as well. Mine is in nowhere near the condition yours is though.

Hey FranF, can you confirm the nut width?

Nut width appears to be P on mine also. It seems less chunky than my std P as far as profile. It feels like my MIJ Power Jazz Specials.

Okay, home from work and checked the width: 1-5/8" ! It is however, slimmer front to back than my '74 B neck and my '82 Fullerton '57 P "C" neck. Very comfy.

And to confirm, it IS The Boxer series, whatever the heck that means, introduced in Japan, 1985. Looks like it's a model PB-501? I'll be damned!

Oops! Should have posted this from the get-go, since I've been asked, and, it's probably the most important thing: THE WEIGHT. Well, non-scientific digital bathroom scale (actually pretty accurate), 7.9 pounds. I'd say 8-ish to be safe. Very very light as Fenders go!

Sounds terrific! Has that nice fat compressed tight sound heard on a million records. Truth is, I have 6 Precisions, after just trading one away. This beauty needs full time work!
