The one that got away in 99/00 Manchester Bass Centre

Andy, it was bugging me that I'd seen the TXJ-4 somewhere else and last night I had a light bulb moment. I completely forgot I'd previously downloaded some pics from a sale I spotted on Ebay a couple or so years ago.
As you can see, it's the same model and colour except it's a 5-string. One other thing to note is that the model was listed as a "Tune HAS-5". (Might be part of their Hatsun's endorsee series?). Not sure if this has helped or just confused things further for you. Sorry! 😕😉

Hmm, I need a buffing wheel. Dirty...
 

Well, it’s been 20 years...

And now I’m going to set the bugger up.

bit of a klonk on the fingerboard at fret 1.

Anyhow, it’s really well put together.

What a fantastic looking bass Andy.

I hope the sound and playability are equally good.

Interested in hearing your thoughts

It’s top quality - like the Godlyke I sold to @bassfan (they’re deffo from the same factory - Deviser/Bacchus) playability is great too now the mange is off it...

it’s had a life though - for sure. Swirly 🙄

One of the switches may need cleaning out as a bit intermittent.

But it’s magic. May tweak the setup as I did it all in haste.

Nice man, glad he hooked you up and it arrived safe and well.

He’s really handy - particularly if you love Japanese gear.

Absolutely spot on guy. And it was packed well enough to survive a fall from an aeroplane.

Heads up guys - he’s called Denis and he’s absolutely sound.
