Clicky-clicky! Very pretty bass. But I'm sure you can get a brand new one at that price! |

I used to own an original '77 J that looked exactly like that one, including the rosewood fretboard. Sharp looking bass and sounded great, but it was over 11lbs! Sold it a few years ago: https://picasaweb.google.com/pjmuck/197 ... zzBassSOLD You can get a new one from Japan for about $1168 + $125 shipping + whatever 3rd party fee would be ($75?) = $1370 - $1400?): http://shop.taniguchi-gakki.jp/products ... ct_id=1346 |

Did anybody check out the over-the-top shielding and grounding that went into this bass? http://www.greygarden.org/ShieldingAndS ... enWay.html Seems worthy of some interest. |

Nice description and photos of the bass, but that's a $1000-bass on a good day. Customs Shop Japan? Is there such a thing? I would guess there is a custom shop for Japanese artist and what-not, but this is just a top-of-the-line CIJ, not custom in any shape of form. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. |

I have never seen a MIJ CIJ with true 70's spacing. |

Spacing in terms of the bridge pickup being closer to the bridge on the 70s basses than on the 60s ones. |
