Yamaha Motion MB III - info wanted

Looking to buy a new bass , and this Motion B caught my interest. Is there any way to tell , from photos, if it is made in Japan or Taiwan ? The seller dosent know. It dosent have a the fine tuning bridge , and the cable plug is in the front , not along the body egde , as some have. 2+2 tuners ,slanted .Also wondering about those big pickups (2) . They don't look like anything else Ive seen. Are they any good, are there replacements if needed ?
Feel free to comment on this bass, as I can not try before I buy ! Thanks
