The Japanese MIJ (Made in Japan) Squiers were made by FujiGen up to 1997 and the Japanese CIJ (Crafted in Japan) Squiers were made by Tokai and Dyna from 1997.

The first Japanese made Squire basses came out in 1982 and they are among the best.

I have an 83 P-bass and it is NICE! Within a hair of my 96 US made fretless P in construction quality and playability I'd say is equal. I use it as one of my main basses and despite 26 years of use, still in great shape.

I have an 82 JV Precision that I bought new.

It is still my #1. The only thing I have ever changed on it is the strings.

I have a Japanese made Squire P-Bass 1990/91 manufacturing. According to my experience I found it is much better then an American Special P Bass. It is very smooth and sounds really good.
