Cool :D Found a quick clip that's not great, but at least gives a vague idea:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pD4qwj1IRk

This clip says MB III - not sure how different it is to the MB II as I've never seen one before either.

From what I read, the MBII had the tuner bridge, which the MBI and MBIII did not have...

That being said, a bit pricey: a fretless right handed sold on Reverb for some $450 incl. shipping. Pretty rare bass in a lefty though...

Found several videos on youtube, such as this one, which gives it a more mellow sound - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGCwnkkCJyc - most of the others have a more modern sound... a cool bass, and a search on Google places the average selling price around $499, with one as low as $400. Even though it's a rare lefty, $300 over average is a bit of a stretch, even if it is in Japan...

Now if it was in this color, it might Almost be worth it... ;) Image
