Its Sunburst sibling came along too, but the Olympic White is the one that does the work in the dark. Shot in The Old Orchard Basement Storage, a dim fruit cellar beneath a Funen photo studio, where a white Fujigen P-Bass is essentially the only light source in the room.
Frequently asked questions about the Fender Hama Okamoto Precision Bass #4
Hama Okamoto is a prominent Japanese bassist, and Fender built this Made in Japan signature model around the specifications of his own vintage 1968 Precision Bass. The “#4” identifies this particular signature configuration within his Fender line, distinguishing it from his other signature specs.
It recreates the late-1960s P-Bass, specifically Okamoto’s 1968 example, so it carries that era’s vintage-style split-coil pickup and period aesthetic. In Olympic White it is a faithful homage to his original instrument, built by Fujigen during the 2018-2019 run with modern reliability underneath the vintage look.
These Hama Okamoto signature models were produced primarily for the Japanese market rather than as global-catalogue instruments, which is part of what makes them uncommon outside Japan. They carry the Made in Japan marking and Fujigen build of their era.
