Well that makes two 82 JBs and three 82 57s.
NICE.

So how common are the ink stamps for 82. Are they late 82?
Plate is V0003xxx. I know it's no science.

the 5 piece body

Yeah, that isn't unusual.

That's one too many zeros.

Whew!! The prices people are asking for Fullertons is continually moving upwards. I rather doubt the instruments are actually selling for that amount. If they are, though, my initial "investment" in my Jazz has octupled.

Wow! That’s eclipsing most new Fender Custom Shop prices.

This is my '57 Reissue. What does this neck date look like to you? Looks like 11-11-8X. could be 82 since there is a long tail on the last number but I'm not sure. I bought it in 1991 from a pawn shop. The Serial is V016137. Also does the 'F' on the back of the neck instead of a name mean that it's a factory second? Could this have been assembled from discarded parts? The body paint has some cosmetic issues or it's a bad refin.

11-11-8X

Looks complete legit. 11-11-82 and Vintage White (541).

Hi guys, I need some help regarding a pickup rewind for my 84 Jazz - I need to know the resistance of the neck pickup, so I let the place that’s doing the rewinding a figure to shoot for - I’m guessing it’s in the 7 ohm range.. thank you very much in advance.

did the bass sell? i wonder what the asking price was.

 

[7dollarbologna]

Does anyone know the type of wire that was originally used to wind the pickups?

This particular one was sold via The Chicago Music Exchange , it sustained significant finish damage from sitting on a guitar stand .

Sorta guessing they used enamel as it's a reissue , but might be poly?

SOLD - 1983 Fender Fullerton 62 Vintage Reissue Precision - Sunburst

I owned that one for awhile. Other than the damage from the guitar stand it was so clean it was almost NOS. Its such a shame about the finish damage.

Well, it’s at Curtis Novak right now - he said it would be done using same type wire, I think it’s in good hands

Here is a pic of my '82 Pickup. Yup. Its this purple looking enamel.

From what I can remember, Fender used at least three types of wire to wind their pickups. Below are the three wire types that I can recall and their associated color...

Plain enamel = dark purple
Poly nylon = light red
Formvar = shiny copper​
