Trying the link thing again...
The obvious things about it are: body refinished, tuners
changed, knobs not original. https://plus.google.com/photos/10699...CI__sOKmwInHHQ

| | | Woah, that thing looks awesome. I don't know a lot about Japanese basses, but that doesn't look American. :0
Love the night sky getup and the abstract pickguard. Would pick one of these up if I found one just for the looks. You could route it for a trem bridge and not feel too bad about it, that's what I would do. But then again, I'm a nutjob. 
Cool find!

There is no name on the bass at all. It may have had a decal or sticker logo at one time but not now. Its cool looking, but pretty heavy.Half of the weight has got to be that big chrome pickguard.
Anyone seen anything like it?
