I recall at some point seeing a picture here of a Japanese only issue 4003 with checkerboard binding and I believe FWI and possibly more vintage styling. What is the specific model designation of that bass? I've an ex-brother-in law in Japan and he wants to buy a bass, I think he should buy this one!

We don't know what model designation he should be persuing. Thanks!

My Japanese is weak but, I think they're trying to say "Rickenbacker makes darn good bass guitars!"

Model designation is 4003VPCBJG (Jetglo) or 4003VPCBFG (Fireglo).
