I purchased this bass as a project a little over two years ago.  The brand is unknown, but based on the build quality and the parts included, it's definitely of Japanese origin.  Possibly Greco or Orville, but definitely from the Terada or Fuji-Gen factory. The tuners and the Atlansia pickups are original to the bass.  The killer green sparkle paint job was done by Stike at Rowyco Kustoms in Durham, NC. It's got a Babicz full contact bridge,  Callaham stainless steel neck plate,  Electrosocket input, Dunlop straplock buttons,  custom made pickguard, Bartolini TC3 preamp.  Ebony fingerboard,  jumbo frets with almost no discernible wear. I do not know what the body wood or the neck wood is.  The neck has a pretty typical slim Thunderbird profile.  1-5/8" wide at the nut.  The neck is straight, and the truss rod is fully functional.  Weight is 9 lbs on the nose.  The strap buttons were positioned so that the bass balances well (no nose-diving).  It's a great instrument.  With the exception of the finish, all work was done here at Metro Guitar Service Arlington, VA.  It plays and sounds as good as it looks!  It's one of a kind.  Included is an Epiphone rectangular hardshell case.  Feel free to contact Metro Guitar Service if you have any further questions.  NOTE ON SHIPPING: The shipping price listed is the maximum including insurance (shipping to the West coast).  If the actual shipping cost to your location is less, the price will be lowered accordingly.  All reasonable offers will be considered.  Free shipping within the continental US.
