I don't know why but I always liked the walnut finishes. But this price... Ouch!!! Could it be a 75/76? I thought 76 they moved the logo decal to the headstock. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-FENDER- ... 2518.l4276 |

Both my 75 and 76 "Mocha' P's had the same headstock logo (Fender only and not the + Precision Bass TV logo) |

How much of the price has to do w/ Japanese exchange rates, market and VAT? Not that it matters if you are a US buyer, but it's not like the bass is in some shop in Brooklyn. |

Both my 75 and 76 "Mocha' P's had the same headstock logo (Fender only and not the + Precision Bass TV logo) It looks like a '76 transitional model: the Fender logo is still in the traditional location, but the serial number is no longer on the neck plate, it has nickel-plated Fender tuners and not the chrome-plated Schaller tuners Fender started using later in '76. Pricey, yes, but anything vintage is pricey in Japan. Looks quite nice and hey, it's one pound lighter than my '75! |
