See link above - I'm guessing these were the precursor to the Jazz Bass Special as used most famously by Duff McKagan.

Not cheap, but certainly rare I should think and lower than I've seen regular JV precisions and jazzes going for....

Am trying very hard to resist that one, but yes, was intrigued by that JV plate.

Intriguing indeed. I'm tempted to say it's a Frankenstein. Body off the bass in the link or similar, Jap P-J neck and a JV plate? But...

I can't see where the JV plate comes in though? Maybe it's just a plate thats been added?

It could be one of these? JV Contemporary. PJ555

I'd guess that's it - worth remembering that the JV range - and Fender Japan in general, for that matter - was initially Japanese market only. I'm sure there were various models seldom seen outside of Japan, much as there are today.
