Unfortunately, no definitive model number was found.If you’re knowledgeable about Fender Japan basses from this period and have any thoughts or suggestions regarding the exact model designation, I’d genuinely welcome your input. I’m particularly interested in determining whether this is a PB62-70, PB62-US, or another Japanese domestic-market variation.In the meantime, I’m listing it simply as a Fender Japan Precision Bass with PB62-style specifications rather than claiming a model designation I haven’t been able to verify.A great opportunity to own a Japanese-made Fender Precision Bass from this desirable production era.
