1983 Fernandes Japan RPB-70 Revival '59 Reissue Precision Bass (Blonde)Made in Japan in 1983, the RPB 70 '59 Reissue was a very rare model from Fernandes that replicated the late 50's Fender Precision Bass that introduced the slab rosewood fingerboard. Lightweight alder body with a transparent blonde finish bolted to a maple neck with a wide 44mm nut width, it weighs 3. 7kg's. Spiral saddles and reverse wound tuners give this a real high end look and feel, it appears to be all original except for a replacement tone
