Fender PB-70-70M Precision Bass | 1991 Made in Japan
Made in Japan. Alder body. One-piece maple neck. Vintage-style split P-Bass pickup. Includes gig bag.
The Fender PB-70-70M is a genuine Japanese-made Precision Bass from Fender Japan's early '90s reissue series. The "70-70" designation indicates a '70s reissue flavor with vintage-spec pickups and hardware, while the "M" suffix denotes the maple fingerboard.
Japanese Fenders from this era are known for above-average build quality, many players prefer them to contemporary Mexican models and find them competitive with American builds in feel and tone. This is a true vintage Japanese Fender P‑Bass, still very playable and collectible thanks to the MIJ craftsmanship.
