70s Aspen MIJ Rickenbacker Copy

[Fjbs85]

Anyone got any information on these Rick copies? I know Greco and Ibanez are the big ones for Rick knock offs, but anyone hear of Aspen?

Jackson X Series Concert Bass CBXNT DX IV are very good

Aspen seems to have been a well regarded Japanese manufacturer of both acoustic and electric guitars.
They made Jazz, Precision, EB0 copies as well as earlier in-house designs.
Here's an old TB ad for a Rick copy:
