Hello everyone!

I'm new to these forums, and I have a question for you all.
I recently got a used 93-94 MIJ Fender Precision bass. The problem is, I don't think I've ever seen one with this color (sunburst blue?).
So I thought it would be a good idea to ask around and see if someone can help me tell wether it's the real deal or a fake model.
I leave you a link with a few pictures of it, including the serial number, headstock and whatnot: https://imgur.com/a/ROUUb6f

Thanks in advance!

The unusual finish color aside, the instrument seems to be authentic.

My Japanese isn't good enough for translation, but wiser people than me have told that the BBS color option on the 1994 brochure means Blue Black Sunburst.

So, no worries there.
