Good morning. I'm at a crossroad. I have the opprotunity to buy a second hand Made in Japan Precision Bass but I have two options: Standard Precision Model or Reissue 63. Anybody knows the difference about them?. Anybody can give me any advice? Thanks

I'm guessing they're both made in Japan and in that case:
The 63 reissue will most likely have an all nitrocellulose finish so it will wear out quicker than the standard, which has a lacquer finish, although some like a worn look. Whether or not you should buy the standard or reissue really depends on your style of playing and the sound you're looking for. The 63 reissue tries to imitate that pre CBS 'surf-sound' if you know what I mean, and has a cleaner sound whereas the standard bass is more modern and better suited to modern rock and has a more modern feel to it, the reissue one may have a kind of rougher sound. Although it really depends on the player as to what sound will come from it. Personally I would get the 1963 reissue because I like the vintage sound and feel to the guitars. They will also have different neck widths and shapes and the bodies will be contoured differently, the standard will generally be chunkier in terms of contouring. Do some good research and find out the specs of each one and find what best suits you. Hope this helps

Many thanks James for your answer. It has been a great help for me. I think that I'll buy the standard model. More versatile, perhaps. Good luck!!

Glad I could help! Also the standard bass has a polyurethane finish, not lacquer... my mistake. Best of luck!
