It is also extremely rare. I have not seen another made in Japan. I am sure they are out there. I hope someone here can point me to another one! I want more info.
Uau! Very nice!
At first I thought there were 2 basses, ahah!

They are two, count 'em two basses in one.
Note: probably only old farts will remember that commercial.
Simple = Elegant
It is one sweet guitar. Its like Lays potato chips only instead of "betcha can't eat just one..." that bass is more like "bet you can't put it down after a minute."
Really happy with these wall mounts
I am always make a photocopies of Fender Bass to my files so may I get permission to do this. Pagorn.

It's for when you have to play a Jaco/Jameson medley
Are you sure it's factory? I've never seen anything like that from Fender, and the finish looks... unusual where the seam would be if you stuck two basses together. Still cool no matter the origin
Just finished putting this here old thing together.
Quite the Dark Beauty, and seems Fretless to Boot! Enjoy!
2x Bass in my homestudio............
Harley Benton HBZ-2005, headless convert with T4M tuner mechanics, and a Ibanez EHB1005sms with Nordstrand Big Blade pups.
Will swap forth and back with piccolo tuning B-hiG and normal B-G tuning.
me likes to play the piccolo thing

I'm having problems finding the basses in that photo....
I've got another in the works and a couple in pieces that will eventually be back in rotation

I am not sure if it is factory... perhaps not. Definitely made from Fender Japan basses but if it is factory, it has been stripped and refinished. The owner was clearly going for a sort of relic look for sure. I have lots of plans for it.... new pickguard, new bridges, rewire with push/pull tone/volume pots for all the pups, and possibly sanding off the finish and having it properly/professionally redone.
That said, I love it and its a blast to play.
thats the fun part of it. They visually kind of vanish (was edited)
