🎸 2006 Fender Japan PB57-78US '57 “Vintage White” Precision Bass – The tone and color bone is ready to roll.

If you’ve been hunting that one Precision that looks like it just rolled off the ’57 assembly line, survived the British Invasion, and still growls like a pissed-off lion, stop scrolling. This is it.

Finished in that creamy, dreamy Vintage White nitro that has gracefully yellowed into the most delicious “aged Olympic White” patina money can’t fake. Think Steve Harris meets classic Motown cool, with just the right amount of honest road rash: a few tasteful dings, light buckle scars on the back, and that soft discoloration that screams “I’ve been played, not displayed.” Trust rod cranked to 99% perfection – this neck is rock-solid stable and ready for the next 50 years.

Fresh from a pro no-expense-spared setup: action stupid-low, frets leveled/crowned/polished to glassy perfection, and strung with fresh flats that thump like thunder. Plug in and prepare for your face to melt. The US-made Vintage P pickup is pure 1957 magic – fat, round, punchy, with that perfect midrange snarl that cuts through any mix and makes guitar players nervous.

Alder body that resonates like a church bell, one-piece maple neck with that chunky ’57 soft-V profile that fills your hand like it was born there, and a slab of dark rosewood that looks and feels straight out of the golden era.

Cosmetic rating? C – player-grade road worn gorgeous, not museum sterile. The kind of bass you can actually gig without crying over the first new ding. It has slight discoloration, a few stains and tiny finish cracks in the neck pocket.

This isn’t some reissue trying to act vintage. This is the real deal from the era when Fender Japan was quietly out-building the USA Custom Shop.

One owner, obsessively maintained, and now looking for the next pair of hands worthy of its legacy.

Come claim the white whale before it disappears forever.  

Only at The Guitar Dude. Your band’s about to sound a whole lot meaner. 😈⚡

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s

We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives significantly not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
