Maybe that was a leftover from the Japanese run that never made the boat. You can't beat checkered binding and jetglo, well AZ comes close!

Wow! Nice catch Dave. Now you have no choice but to bring that, yourself and Lisa to the SoCal Confluence.

In Japan, this is a pretty reasonably-priced bass! Their asking price works out to only $1197.00...

It's nice to appeal to other markets but
A) aren't we the biggest market?
B) the 75th's were great but how about a more widespread opportunity for us to get more unique stuff?
