I remember having seen these years ago too. It's not a new limited edition.

This was posted 15 hours ago, not 25 years ago. Consider the possibility that this is something new, regardless of what came out back then.

 If that's the case, it needs chrome parts, that thing will be stunning.

One of the comments: "I have always loved the look of this bass. However, when I finally owned one,(not blue), I found that I didn’t like the pickup set up and couldn’t get the action low enough on it due to the pickups being as high as they are. Still, I loved the bass when I had it and could tell it would have great tone for somebody who doesn’t mind high action bass guitars."

Maybe lower the pickups?
