A couple of years ago someone over there had listed a light metallic blue Greco Les Paul bass with THREE of their Thunderbird pickups. it went for some good money but I bet it was worth every penny.
Back in November 2006, RVL(in another forum..pit), pointed out one at Ishibashi for about $200 and then the gas for those started. Silverburst, black, purpleburst, and a purpleburst covered with stickers($90 on yahoo Japan auctions) came here. The pickups made all of them worth the $$$. Be advised the necks are so thin/fast that standard gauge Roto's hurt them. I had to go to 40-60-80-100's and then changed brands to an even lighter tension(E is a 95 now).
Add FretsOnTheNet pickup rings to them and the chromitis is soothed.
Here's the RVL one and a black one I had Guitar Shelter(Japan) go buy and ship here.
