To be fair; eBay currently seems to be completely rammed with basses FS from Japan with prices that have absolutely no connection with the real world. I wonder if any actually sell?
The white one in the OP is lovely; I stupidly passed on one in a local music shop many years ago.....
Strangely enough, many many many years before the Internet, when I was 16, I wrote a letter to NME (or possibly Sounds) asking exactly the question as the OP. B@stards never printed it.......
I’d sooooooo love this....... Isn’t the p/up a Schaller rather than a DiMarzio? Anyway, GLWTS and by the time I’ve decided to buy it will undoubtedly have gone.....
