A weird old 60's Japanese bass that i found in a pawn shop 45 minutes from TokyoThe listing title says most of what needs to be said, i found this over in Japan last year and couldn't leave it there. It's listed for the price i paid when you factor in me getting it home. It's got a full scale length, two gold foil pickups, a solid mahogany body and neck with a rosewood fingerboard, weighs a hefty 4. 7kg's. The pickups have a low ish output but that's mostly due to the fact that they're so low to the body and far away from the

full sound

it's got brand new Gotoh machine heads installed

Made in very limited numbers in 1986

One of the Japanese made Profile Silhouttes from the late 70's and early 80's

this is EG model wears a lovely brown sunburst on a seldom seen laminate flame top

it's a NOS neck and body that seem to need new holes drilled to fit (as they don't line up properly)

this one weighs an uncharactaristically heavy 4
