A bit of an anomaly that has us a little stumped. Seemingly made in Japan in 1989 based on the specs and pot codes, this looks to be a 4-string bass with a "Ripley" shaped body and headstock without any of the stereo electronics. If you know exactly what model it is we'd love to hear more! Loaded with an aftermarket Aria Pro II pickup in the bridge position and some replacement pots. 860mm scale length with a 40mm nut width, weighs 3.7kg's.  Has a slight repair near the headstock where the fretboard shifted slightly, professionally repaired and is smooth to touch. Good overall vintage condition as pictured with a straight neck, adjustable truss and plenty of life in the frets. 

A note for international buyers: Our Reverb shipping quotes for basses and longer guitars are with the neck removed (when possible) to reduce the size of the package. If you'd like to have it shipped with the neck on please contact us for an exact quote via UPS.
