Fender Japan Left-Handed Precision Bass

Overview
When this vintage white left-handed P-Bass came in for a setup, shielding, and change of pickups, it had already been modified. These mods included Japanese 250K volume and tone pots, a chrome Leo Quan Badass Bass II bridge, and Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound™ for P-Bass® SPB-3 passive pickups. Now, let's take a closer look at this bass. The neck is by Fender Japan, was manufactured between 2004 - 2005 at the Fuji-gen Plant, and feature-wise, is similar to a PB57/LH. The pickguard is probably non-stock, as it's not single-ply as one would expect, but 3-ply Black-White-Black (see pics below).
