Fender P-Bass Japan Medium Scale (1987)

[Frank Orlando]

Hello... I just sent you a PM. Thanks.

 

[hirocaster]

the body of theses japanese squier precision bass are smaller? Standard pickguard would fit?

 

[Frank Orlando]

Nope... I had to have one made by Chandler's Pickguard Heaven. They do a nice job too.

 

[hirocaster]

hmm, thanks for the quick response. I'm buying this 32" japanese squier precision bass
they already have the sizes of pickguard?

 

[Frank Orlando]

Call them and ask but I had to send them my pickguard as a template when I did mine many years ago.

I own a Medium (32") scale Fender - not Squire - Precision. According to the serial # it's MIJ mid 80's. I overpaid for it on CL 'bout a year ago, little dinged up. I put in a Nordy p/u added a Varitone 6-pos tone selector, custom tort P/G and had her painted (not exactly what I was looking for, but it's unique). I added a cream p/u cover just for fun. Just had the frets leveled and had her set up - sounds, plays great. I absolutely love and wouldn't part with it for the world.

Yeah, my own fender 32" scale comes to me after Christmas.
tone_challenged whether your bass neckplate empty or the F-logo?

How do the body dimensions differ on the 32" Squier/Fenders from a standard P-Bass? I was thinking of recreating one using a Warmoth Warhead neck (32") and a matching body blank, if I can convince Warmoth to offer me one with the pickup and bridge routes already done.

Who makes the basses for Fender in Japan?
I know its not a Fender shop.
Thanks

 

[selowitch]

Bump. I'd really like to know if the bodies on these medium-scale Ps are proportionately smaller than standard P bodies, since I'm hoping to get a 32" Warmoth Warhead neck and create a custom body to go with it in a P shape with the pickguard and all the fixin's.

 

[Superfriend]

someone wants to sell me a hard case on my Fender 32" p-bass?

I pay very well

I sold this blue one for $800 but it wasn't original. It was refinished in Daphne blue nitro and had Bartolini's, BadassII and a vintage Fender case. Great bass... I wish I had it back.

Hello, I am awaiting delivery of a medium scale (32") Fender Japan P-bass made in the late 80's (1987 I think). They came as both Squire's (CIJ E-series) and as Fender MIJ. Mine is Fender. I am trying to find out what pickups are installed from Fender Japan in this bass? Are they the same as the Squire CIJ pickups? I had a Squire P-bass CIJ in medium scale before and the pickups were weak. I am hoping the Fender version has better pickups. I would appreciate any info on this bass. There isn't too much I can find on the net. Thanks.

What was the Fender version called? The Fender jazz medium scale is called JB62M.
