1993 Fender Mini Precision Bass MPB-33 Short Scale Sunburst w/ Hangtags, Japan MIJ

Up for sale, a 1993 Fender MPB-33R Mini Precision Bass in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with hangtags. A decidedly unique (not to mention adorable) P Bass, this “Made in Japan” offering was produced exclusively for the Japanese market for only a few short years, featuring a 22.7” scale and full-sized standard P Bass electronics and hardware.

Weighing 5lbs 10oz, tonewoods include a basswood body, maple neck, and a slab rosewood fretboard, and the split-coil pickup delivers the P Bass goods with rich thump, sweet treble articulation and midrange growl. This MPB-33 benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.
