Look at the figuring around and to the right of the master volume (and especially near the Q control to the right of it). Looks too similar to be coincidence. fc_spoiler Senior Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 1612 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Wednesday, January 21, 2015 - 9:06 pm:    ...maybe we have uncovered a "photo finish a'la '90's Japanese Fenders" scheme here? Just noticed this bass is also in the 2000's catalogue: Link :-) (with Chrome hardware) fc_spoiler Senior Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 1613 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Wednesday, January 21, 2015 - 9:12 pm:    Also note it mistakenly says "Deluxe body laminates" in the '89 catalogue, corrected in the newer catalogue (Deluxe neck lams) Bass has Series I body (5 piece) and Series II style neck (3 PH and side leds) pierreyves Senior Member Username: pierreyves Post Number: 1211 Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Thursday, January 22, 2015 - 12:46 am:    one price somewhere ?
