General

The Fender Classic '50s P Bass was originally manufactured for the Japanese market only, so it's actually pretty exceptional that you can now order this high-grade instrument at Bax-shop. Japanese instruments are subject to the same strict quality demands as their American counterparts, but as they are made in Japan, they're available for a much more reasonable price. Would you like to get your hands on an outstanding Fender Precision Bass that was modelled after the renowned original from the fifties, and adorned with a classic white finish? Think fast, or you might miss out!

The Fender Japan Classic '50s P Bass: construction

This P Bass has a lightweight basswood body that produces a balanced, warm sound. A 21-fret maple fretboard adds the necessary sparkle. In Japan, skimping on quality is unheard of - you can tell by the solid GTOH machine heads, for instance. Additionally, the Fender Japan Classic '50s P Bass has all the characteristics you'd expect, including a Vintage-style split single-coil pickup for that typical P Bass punch. Whether you prefer playing with your thumb, your fingers or a pick, this Japanese Precision instrument can handle all styles.

Japanese Fenders

Japanese Fenders - in this case made by the Dyna Gakki factory - are high-end instruments that were originally never meant to travel abroad. Thanks to their vintage design, modern innovations and high-quality finish, these hand-made bass guitars are highly coveted all over the world. They offer the same build quality as their professional Fender American Standard counterparts at a very reasonable price.
