Here are the two I’m looking at. The PB 62 would be coming from Russia. Any thoughts on buying a bass from there? Fender PB-62 Precision Bass Reissue MIJ Made in Japan 1993 Sunburst Fender PB-62 Precision Bass Reissue MIJ Made in Japan 1993 Sunburst | Guitarbank | Reverb Fender American...

No kidding?? I had heard people like the specials as much as the standards. What do people love about the pb62 neck?

Rosewood fretboard 100%

So I’m itching to get a Fender P bass with a budget of around $900 (plus or minus $100 or so) and I’ve got my eye on the American Standards or American Specials. However, the AmSt seem few and far between and the AmSp even more so. I have seen quite a few PB 62s though but I’m not sure if this...

Hey everyone! Got the wiring all finished! Thought I'd post a pic of the finished product! I plugged it in and it plays, so now I just have to tweak the pickup heights and adjust the neck. Which leads me to my next questions. I put flatwound strings on the bass (first time using FW) and for...

Great!! Thanks!
