Fender Custom Shop Club

Hi,

Here's my Custom Shop Precision Bass, is that a P51, PJ51???... All the candy has been lost over the years... Got it last month, gave my Mike Dirnt Replica MIM Fender bass plus some cash... No regrets :D

Body is ink stamped "Dec 1992 PJ Bass", neck is ink stamped "Feb 19xx" and signed "PJ Bass Aug 1994".

"Would like to trace its history... Any knowledgeable guy one of you could point me to?

The Bass is a "Vintage Precision Custom Bass". I got one in 1994 and it was a 1993 model. Color is Butterscotch blonde.
Nice Bass!

I have noticed remaining of a white solid substance in small pieces coming out when I remove some screws - for example under the chrome cover screws and the strap buttons - what is this, lacquer remainings?
