2004 MIJ Precision- Neck Profile

[chetmz]

Have a chance to pick up one of these but was wondering what the neck profile was like. In other words, nut width, radius, etc..
Is it similar to the current production MIA P's?
From various threads I've read, I gather the workmanship is considered to be pretty good.
Finally, what would you expect to pay for one in very good condition?

Fender Japan basses are great value for money. If you knew the model then I could give you precise specs. In general the nut width on the Fender Japan standard p is 42mm which is narrower than it's US counterpart. I believe the radius is 7.25. If you are looking for a traditional chunky neck then the Japan P is probably not for you. I prefer the necks on the Japanese p basses because it's almost like playing a precision with a jazz neck. My Japanese 70's reissue p bass has an A width neck which suits me fine. Again depending on the model, used prices can range from around 450 to maybe 575 on the high end for the standard model. The price goes higher for the reissues. That's not factoring in shipping of course. I bought one of mine direct from Japan so of course you can tack on anywhere from 115 to 150 bucks for shipping.

I appreciate the information.

Most of the MIJ P bass have a wide but slim/flat neck profile. Like the other Tber said they are almost jazz bass like in feel. I prefer them over MIA P necks and they are a dream to play.
