Since finding out that the body on my Precision is from Fender Japan, I'm looking at the pickup it sounds great but who made it. Was it a FJ version of the American pickup or was it an American Fender pickup. I'm looking on the Internet but there is so much Fender stuff out there. Thank you Gentlemen

Hi there,

check it out on the Fender Japan Official Website.
It says, that they are the standard Japanese Pickups.

The PB57-US has American Vintage split-coil humbucking P-Bass pickups.

The only main cosmetic difference between the PB57 and the American Vintage '57 is the pickguard. The USA '57 uses a gold anodized aluminum pickguard with a thumbrest and the PB57 a standard 3-ply white pickguard without the tug bar.

Thank you Gentlemen,I think I will go with my plan of getting some 250k pots and cap and see if that makes a difference.
