I had one of these (same model and colour) 20 years ago. Superb basses.

Something doesn't sound right though - I thought that production stayed in Japan until well after 1991.

Yep, maybe worth asking the seller about that comment, as the comment suggests they have some knowledge of the bass, whereas a £60 start price doesn't.

I've had a few SGC Nanyo's ranging from, off the top of my head, 1988 to 1994 and they were all MIJ.

By the way, this is a straight relist, it was on in the last couple of weeks at start price £85 (I think) with no takers.
Maybe the link through to the sale here on BC has helped this time around.

I bought one the same as that in 1993 from Project Music in Hounslow for £195. It was listed as used but still had protective plastic on the pups.

If this one could be had at the right price i couldn't care less where it came from. But then again i'm not a bass anorak. i.e. 'Uncle Mat' is not part of my vocabulary.

Damn was thinking of bidding on this but it finished while I was still asleep this morning, went for £62 !!

Now if you'd asked Uncle Mat to wake you in time ...

Or used a sniping tool...

Too late anyway, I would have slept through it anyway whatever I did
