I recently got myself a 2008 ish MIM Fender Precision BUT I was told by my mate who I got it from that he thought that the body may be from another Precision due to the writing in ink stamp in the neck pocket.

It reads PB - 57 D / EX 2 & upside down again in ink stamp it looks like KANI. And there was a white Fender Custom Shop label maybe from a pickup box in there as well.

Any advice would be helpfull thank you,the daft thing is I really like this bass.

That's an odd one--I know Mexico does some special basses. I had a Flametop Jazz with cherry SB for instance- I guess it was kind of a Custom type mex bass. Is there anything special about yours? Body wood? Classic ? Anything?

I think that the body may be either a MIJ or a CIJ body.

Even though it's a mixture of different bits, I love the sound of it i'm having a hard time putting it down.

On Ebay UK there is a 62RI Precision body,with the same markings in the neck pocket as mine bar for mine saying 57. So thats it my Precision body is from Fender Japan with an MIM neck, I think that I may get some American Fender pickups,that way I will have something from every Fender factory. Still a great feeling and playing bass wish I'd got a Precision years ago.
