Value depends not only on condition, but also on current economics and what market you are trying to sell it in. Any instrument brings more in a music center city like Nashville, New York, Los Angeles and even more in off shore music centers like London or Paris. Japanese Fenders make ok players but are usually seen as having inferior stock electronics to the USA basses they copied.

One thing is for sure, the longer you keep it the more it will be worth. Just a ballpark estimate for around here in the Carolinas would be $700 to $800 in "GOOD" condition. That is the asking price, then the actual sale price might be sightly lower. Also depends on whether or not it is factory original, what color it is, included original accessories and etc. Some colors seem more desirable and bring slightly slightly higher prices.

In general Japanese Fenders don't bring quite as much as USA Fenders. But do appreciate. The wood, fit and finish are on par with USA instruments in my opinion. Some of the Japanese P-Basses were actually better than the USA ones so far as how they played, if only the electronics had been as good as the USA ones.
