Exclamation Japan?

First, do not buy a bass from Japan unless you live there. That code is a Japan dealers code. It is a BSR4GN, Fretless with Imbuia top and back with mahogany core and maple laminates.

Also, some of these sellers are Fraud, copying pics from other dealers and claiming to have the bass.

Third, they pay more shipping and duty to get the basses there.

You can do better to buy a bass in Europe or even better from USA.

A NEW bass like that from us with Warranty is $5795 plus shipping. I don't know about the takes or Duty but from Japan, you will pay that a well.

Bass is 5295, 5pc body is $200 and lined fretless is $300.

Flat Top pickups are available on all models by special order.

Now, you have all the information. So, the math is, a used bass at 10% off the current full price but, was slightly less when new in 2015.

Be careful.
