Fender JV Squier / 57 Reissue Precision / 1983 / 2 Tone Burst / Bass

1983 Squier JV series, 57 reissue Precision bass
1983 Squier JV series, 57 reissue Precision bass. (Export model) The neck is dated 9th March 1983, making this just over a year into the production of these Japanese Squiers. 2 tone Sunburst finish with a Maple neck and fingerboard. Original other than the gig bag, pickguard and control knobs. These export series JV basses had more in keeping with the original vintage basses than the Japanese domestic series - USA made pickups with cloth wires and vintage style reverse tuners. This bass is generally very clean but does have a few bumps & scrapes and a patch of buckle rash on the back. The neck is straight and clean as is the headstock. At the end of the neck by the truss rod there is what appears to be a very small repair to the wood. It looks like someone slipped using a screw diver when adjusting the rod. It's very small and doesnt affect the neck. (see pics) The frets are in great shape. All electronics and hardware are in good working order. This bass has a big round and warm sound with a hint of extra top end due to the Maple board in keeping with the vintage vibe. If your budget doesnt stretch to a pre CBS Fender then these Japanese made reissues are an excellent alternative. This bass has been fully set up with a smooth action by my technician. Weight:8.6 lbs. Serial: JV40475
