Fender Precision Lyte Active Bass Made in Japan with hard case

  
Fender Precision Lyte Active Bass - Made in Japan with hard case. The serial number shows this bass as made in 1985/86 but Japanese serial numbers are known to be somewhat confusing as they reused serial number prefixes so this bass could even be a 90's bass. The body is made of walnut with no bucklerash on the rear or playing wear on the front face, it has a Maple neck with a Rosewood fretboard. The frets are in very good condition with no noticable wear, the neck has the micro adjustment system which is very handy to make fine adjustments to the neck angle and is the same profile as a Jazz bass.

The body is a natural oiled finish which looks stunning and complimented by the gold hardware, the bridge can be strung either normaly or through body stringing which is said to give slightly more sustain and tone. This bass is in very good condition apart from a few small age related marks here and there, but nothing major, the gold hardware is in good condition but for some very slight tarnishing on the bridge. It has just been fitted with a new set of strings so this bass sounds as good as it should, it can produce anything from trouser flapping bottom end to punchy midrange and clear high frequencies so it works very well with any style of music as you can dial in any tone you want.

The body is slightly smaller and lighter than a standard Precision bass and has a slightly smaller headstock, this makes the bass lighter overall so easy to play for hours without feeling the weight of a normal Fender bass, but with no loss of bottom end. The Japanese facility is renown for the build and finish quality of the instruments built there, these basses are becoming collector items due to the low number made and are only seen for sale rarely, they are holding, or even increasing in value. Unfortunatly this bass has not been played for quite some time and it is a shame keeping a great quality bass like this in my house in its case, so it is time to sell it so someone else will enjoy owning and playing it.

Any questions will be answered as soon as possible.
