I think so too. Plus Jack Off Jill formed in 1992, and Rogue started in 1996.

BUT…

While I think the manufacturer is SGC Nanyo, I am almost positive it’s labeled a Bass Collection bass and SGC Nanyo was the parent company.

I don't think so in this case, but I don't really know. There were two "Tunes" at the time, though, the original Japanese luthiers and the Korean subcontractor that felt they owned the rights. Pretty sure SX is separate but don't know why I say that really.

In the '90s there was a brand called "Bass Collection" and the headstock looks very similar to theirs.
