Fender Japan Traditional II 60s Precision Bass: Part One


Specifications

This is the first of two posts on a brand new three-tone-sunburst MIJ Fender Precision Bass. It came in for a string change from roundwounds to flatwounds and the necessary setup that follows. Although it's marketed as being "Traditional 60s," the radius of the rosewood fretboard is a modern 9.5 inches, as measured at the 3rd, 7th, 12th and 20th frets. The specs shown below are based upon information sourced from Swee Lee Malaysia, Gakkido Online Shop; and my own observations. Thanks for dropping by, enjoy the pics; and stay tuned for Part Two.
