Japanese Jazz Basses

I've seen a nice looking japanese jazz bass for £340 in a shop and wondered if that was a good price for it, its 2nd hand with a few dings etc.

The serial number on the back of the headstock dates it to 1993 - '94.
The slightly odd thing is that it has what looks like a flamed maple front, the guy in the shop said that some of those era japanese models used a 'photo-front' (like the paisley designs?).

Is that true or is it a retro-fitted body?

Cheers guys

Si

Dunno really! Sounds about right, it's probably what an expensive MIM one would go for and the MIJ quality is supposed to be plenty better than MIM - whatever the price, I'd probably go in and try and barter him down anyway - in this case, i'd probably try to get nearer the 300 mark, but that's just me!!
