Precision pickup and a neck position humbucker, plus an (Allparts?) Ric bridge/tailpiece unit (not sure how much wood is left after the cutout for that).

Pluggable built-in Fx, including phaser, octave, and filter follower modules.

Only just spotted this - don't think I've ever seen one come up for sale before!

The Rick type bridge was standard on these. They turn up on a few MIJ original designs, including the first iteration of Ibanez Artist.

As far as I know Squire modded his quite heavily - reshaped the body & obviously the white finish & tin metal plate weren't original.

Electra was a US importer (St Louis Music) domestic brand so I don't think these were ever officially available anywhere else. Incredibly rare bass, if it wasn't for the new B**x*t import hell - and the fact I have absolutely no need or use for it - I might be slightly tempted...
