Oh boy, check out this beauty which arrived at my door this morning:

Pre-serial-numbers (<1975) but with JB type pickups (>1972) so for now I'm guessing 1973. I'll pull out a pickup sometime to see if it has a date stamp.
Bottom end model (JB420) but the neck shape is lovely and the plywood body looks pretty nice anyway.

Phantastic. :-*
The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

Thanks - it is playing VERY well. Haven't met a Fujigen neck I don't get along with.

DO IT

Seriously, the best bass I have played (including an AVRI Jazz I owned for a year).

Alas no, long gone I guess. It was a pretty good price with the case so I'm resigned to looking for them over time.
