Sent to me by Fender. After searching this Bass in every possible keyword configuation on every single search engine I could find, it resulted in "0" results. I assume from this that it is a very rare beast indeed. Information I am looking for is Number produced. Neither Guitar Center or Fender can give me this information, which I find a little peculiar. I assume its just easier to tell me they dont know verses actually researching it. I do know there Matching Teles, and Strats, but would like to know how many of each. Or even just the sum total of the 3.
Does anyone know how I might find this out?
Heres some Pics, maybe to wet your whistle.

Definately a unique bass, I kinda like. Would like to see one in person. I think that you will have better responses on TB, as you have tried.
