1970s Electra (Fujigen?) P-Bass Electric Bass Guitar

Update: I've uploaded an improved video for this bass.

If you're familiar with late-'60s and early-'70s Precision Basses, this Japanese-made Electra will feel like home to you. It's a bit lighter than the average '70s P-Bass, too, and the pickups are a lot wider in tone. They've got oomph. The owner thinks this instrument was made by Fujigen and that seems fair -enough to me. It has a solid, Japanese ash body with a weirdly-cool, faux-rosewood-stripe, dark-brown finish all over.

Work of mine included a fret level/dress, cleaning, repair to the wiring harness (and extra shielding), and a good setup. It has Fender flatwound strings on it in gauges close to 105w-45w and the neck has a functioning truss-rod and is essentially straight. Like most Fender-style necks, one side of the neck adjusts fully-flat (the bass side) while the other side has a little relief. This is because flatsawn wood is used for most necks of this style. In this case, the treble has ~1/64" relief over its length tuned to pitch -- which might as well not be there at all, but I mention it because I'm obsessive like that.

Anyhow, it plays with spot-on 3/32" action EA at the 12th fret and hair-over 1/16" DG. The average bass player will probably want to jack it up just a touch. It's also in good health overall and entirely-original save the output jack, the tone/volume knobs (I think), and my additional shielding.

Specs are: 34" scale, 1 11/16" nut width, 1 3/8" string spacing at the nut, 2 1/4" spacing at the bridge, 13" lower bout, 11 1/4" upper bout, and 1 3/4" side depth. The neck has a medium-C, '60s-style shape to it with a ~12" radius to the board.

Materials are: solid Japanese ash, maple neck, rosewood fretboard. It has a high-mass, big-brass-saddle bridge, cool tortoise pickguard, and Fender flatwound strings.

The tuners are nice units, too.
