Isn't that rom the '90s? I think a small number were made for a Japanese dealer.

I remember having seen these years ago too. It's not a new limited edition.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

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?
