In 1977, when I was 15 years old, my parents bought me a MIJ Prima branded Jazz knockoff with weird tele-like pickups. This was my 3rd bass (before it I had a Hofner 500/1 and a Klira Rio), and I immediately peeled off the Prima sticker and made a crude Fender decal (actually I made two, the second try was nicer). Sold it in 1981 to buy a Peavey T40, my first decent bass.
Fast forward to yesterday, the bass pops up in Facebook Marketplace, for $320. I immediately recognized it.
So I bought it... again, 46 years later.
