TomB wrote this on an associated TalkBass thread:
"I own this bass' sibling. Mine is identical in every respect except that it is finished in Burgundy Mist, (a '60's Fender color), and has a rosewood fingerboard. It is such a fine Fender-style instrument that I have needed no other 5-string since purchasing it. I bought it 10 or so years ago from the only former US dealer I know of: Dan Lenard, then of The Luthier's Guild in Chicagoland.
The preamp is a Blackbird, but a 3-band, unlike the 2-band drop-in Jazz Bass replacement model, also a great preamp. It adds a mid-boost/cut feature that functions much like a presence knob on an amp; goose it if you ever feel you can't be heard clearly enough, or cut for a slap-tone. It features only useable tones, and sips 9-volt power.
I have played many 5-string jazzes before and since and this instrument still tands alone. If you can manage it, buy it."
Bass is exactly as described and shown in OP, with a couple of minor nicks to the headstock (with current photos here) The original (tweed) case was never available (from Japan) but it has a new Hiscox (which it fits, exactly). The controls are back to original spec. (Vol-Vol -3EQ). Exceptional build quality & tone. It's 34" scale with 1.75" nut, 9mm spacing at the nut and 18mm at the bridge. Definitely the best Jazz-5 I've played.
