Hey guys. I recently bought a used Japanese Fender P-Bass from a trusted local music store (Atomic Music in Beltsville, MD). It was listed at $599, and I ended up paying $500. I'm looking to sell it now, and I'd like to have some ID info to back up my pricing. Or maybe I'll find out that I got ripped off!

The serial is E905299. It also appears that there was once an "ashtray" pickup cover on it.

So, what do I have here? Thanks for your help!

D.

Looks like your run of the mill Japanese P-Bass in vintage olympic white. The holes for pickup cover are probably only be in the the pickguard and probably don't go into the body. If it came with a pickup cover it would come with a bridge cover and unless it has been refinished and holes filled in then it never had a bridge cover.

When feeding that serial through Guitar Dater Project as MIJ it returns:
Your guitar was made at the
Fuji-gen Plant (for Fender Japan), Japan
in the Year(s): 1984 - 1987

I'd say it is worth more than you paid for it now. I would ask $700 and take $600.
