i bought this bass here @ almost an year ago, been playing it till i upgraded to another fretless...
This is MIJ, 1987. It's got a 1.6" nut, so the neck is more J-like. Very slim and comfortable. The fingerboard has some roundwound markings on it, which is not too bad, and i have been using flats, but it's quite playable as is. Basswood body. Weight is uncertain, but it's a feather-it can't be more than 8 pounds. Controls are pickup selector and V/V/TBX, which is a tone control that cuts treble when turned in one direction and bass when turned the other.
This bass has been played quite a bit, and there are dings, chips, and scratches aplenty, with a couple edge chips through the paint. The neck is perfect, though, except for the aforementioned fingerboard wear. A small mounting screw is missing from the back of the D and G tuners, but they've never moved, so I've never been compelled to find replacements. One of the "F" caps is missing from the control knobs, which is common on these instruments.
Comes with a molded Fender hardshell case that's 100% functional, but a little beat up.
i have more detailed pictures per request....

, and IIRC it had the 1.6 or 1 5/8" nut. Rippin' bass, either way.
