Thanks. It's in pretty good shape for its age. It has one large crack near the control cavity(it's the white line in the pic) that probably happened as a result of someone stepping on the cord and pulling it out of the recessed jack(black area under control cavity.) Other than that, it's got a little gig mojo going, but that just adds to the coolness of the bass. It's really a great example of Japan's best. It's also one of the few I've seen that has the original electronics; I'd like to put Alembics in it someday.

It's a little heavy at 10 pounds, but it's worth the tone.

What do you know about these basses? It's always cool to find one of the "enlightened"...
