Hi all, I recently bought this lovely SB331, its see through black has faded to lovely see through mocha. Its serial number is 980895 which i believe means that this guitar was made in 1998. I understood that Nanyo went bust around 1996 and shortly afterwards production moved to Korea. However the cavity cover of this bass says "Made in Japan", so were there indeed still Bass collection basses made in Japan post 1996, if so fo we know who made them. Thank you so much for the information.
