Wanting to identify my old Japanese bass

Someone posted this on p7 of the TB thread. Matches Brother Bubba's description perfectly, even down to the uncontoured slab body.

Neck construction & trc shape tell me this is a mid/late 70s Korean cheapo. These 8-pole pickups turn up on some MIK basses, they're either licensed Maxons or copies - most likely licensed, based on the close links between the Japanese & Korean industries at the time. The main difference between these & the MIJ units is that they are very hot, typically 11-12k, as opposed to the 6 or 7 the branded Maxons read.

 

So no, I don't think it's a wind-up, Bubba's just a bit, erm, confused and needy. :)
