1987 Fender P-Bass MIJ

1980s MIJ Fenders from Fujigen require no introduction as exceptional quality instruments for their price, both then and now. However it is rare to find an original example such as this showing natural aged poly lacquer colour change from Sonic or Daphne Blue to pale Green. However that is what 38 years of clearcoat lacquer yellowing has slowly created. All hardware, including tuners, tortoise pickguard, frets, tuners, grooved bridge saddles, knobs etc are all original. This bass has had home use for most of its life and is in very good+ condition. It shows evidence of a strong/smooth professional repair to a separation (not complete break) at lower back of headstock. It appears the neck was refinished as part of that repair, losing the serial number from the back of the neck at body end. The neck-end retains some pencilled date data, but not the year (see pics). The two original Pots show codes that AI tells us date to 1987. A great playing P-Bass with real vintage looks and feel at a nice price. Bonus! Comes with the professional grade hard case shown.
