DITTO! There are MANY basses that were made in Japan that were not ment to be oout of the country,such as their "custom shop" models and some of the higher end stuff,Fender Japan has quite a few models not available over here unless bought privetely through a store then shipped over,quality stuff as well.
Goodluck w/it

If all the electronics are original it is probably worth that. I don't know if the Bartolini pickups are original or not. Would have to look at the electronics to see if the solder connections look original. And yes as mentioned in addition to their own Fender Japan Custom Shop of a sort, there were many basses turned out by Fender Japan that were never exported out of Japan and others that were exported but were not distributed in North America. This bass is very interesting to me because of the pickups. I'm very curious if they are factory original or not.

Here is a link to a real cool Fender Japan brochure featuring many Fender Japan basses never imported to North America. http://brochures.yokochou.com/guitar-and-amp/fenderjapan/boxer/en_03.html
