Product no: 9000-0014-2632 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

This is a genuine Japanese Precision Bass! Fender's Japan PB62 OLB 62 has made it to this side of the globe so that us Europeans can now too enjoy the carefully crafted, persuasively vintage-styled instruments. This PB62 looks and sounds exactly like a 1962 P-Bass. Its notable features include a stylish metallic-blue body finish and beautifully contrasting tortoise pickguard and light maple headstock.

PB62 OLB: punchy and vintage

On the distinctive P-style basswood body of the PB62 there's a split single-coil Precision Bass pickup with the same manners as its 1962 idol: punchy sounds suitable for numerous types of music. Additionally, this guitar features the same bevels and relatively convex fretboard as the original '62 P-Bass. A vintage bridge, twenty vintage frets and a comfortable C-profile neck complete the picture.

Fender Japan guitars

Japanese Fenders, in this case made by the Dyna Gakki factory, are high-end instruments that were never meant to travel abroad. These hand-built guitars were made for the Japanese market only, yet are highly coveted all over the world for their combination of vintage design, modern innovation and high-quality finish. They offer the same build quality as the professional Fender American Standard models at a very reasonable price.
