This is the Japan-only "gun metal gray" with black PG. The only way to get this bass is to import it or buy it used from someone who has.
I think it's the best looking color scheme of all the Aerodynes. Recently set up by Mike Lull. It's a GREAT bass. I'll post the Bass Player review when I find it.
TRADE BAIT (+/- cash as appropriate)
Hofner 500/1 bass...vintage or reissue (sunburst only)

Here are pics...
EDIT: since so many people are interested in buying her outright, i'm setting the sale price at $SOLD paypal'ed + shipped.
yes, you can get the *import* version at music123 for $799
--BUT--
- that version looks like "ass" (to me at least): black, no PG, rear mounted controls
- you would have to pay shipping from japan to get this one
- this one has been professionally set up by mike lull
- comes with gator lightweight case (like the sadowsky lightweight case)
