Wow.. this is so cool... thanks for sharing this information, it's really interesting. How do I convert Yen? LOL

never mind, you posted after this one and told me

To put this into perspective, how crazy it is that you could buy this in 1983/84 for so cheap, in today's dollars that bass with the case would roughly cost $612...

You would have to add import fees & taxes, etc. but still a crazy good deal.

You’re so welcome. It’s a cool bass and a great story. Again, I’m sorry for your loss.

What do you think this combo of bass and case would be worth today?

I have this beauty....TJB70-F/1960 SPECIAL MODEL / ¥70,000 Fretless Bass Freaks Desired model. Sticky deep bass and exquisite tone full of jazz flavor are attractive. Flat rose fingerboard narrow neck, alder body, high grade specification with special parts.....amazing tone. If someone have a Breezy Sound tele with rosewood neck from 79/80 spaghetti logo I could be interested in a swap. Or I'm also looking for a Fender Telecaster with Rosewood neck from the 60´t to 66. And could offer you a original Gibson es 175 from 1961.

Nice. You should post a separate thread in the Classifieds section.

Reminds me of this one:

1981 Jaco JB85 YSR

Sorry where is the classifieds section ? And maybe Im wrong, it could be a JB85 YSR. Thanks

No worries.

Right here:

Classifieds

And a "TJB" is a later bass, script logo, 1983 and newer.

Yours is from 1981.
