Zen ON Rickenbucker Baas Replica

Zen-On is largest specialist music publishing company in Japan. The company was founded by Teiji Shimada in 1931 in Tokyo.
Since the foundation, they have been distributing, particularly, educational materials not only music, but also instruments which are fitted,
right, secure and good quality for the educational purposes. Therefore, they have a good distribution net work for music store.(specially
Record Shops) We could imagine easily that they started to sell the electric guitars. Zen-On started to sell the electric guitar in 1960's.

ZEN-ON has been handling many brands on their sales net work. We (Japanese music stores) could still purchase several brands if we don't
have a direct business account with those manufacturers. In 1960's, they started ZEN-ON brand guitars (I have very old acoustic).
Just like Teisco or Guyatone, they made old style (Bizarre) guitars.
After that, in late 70's, they started Roje brand. Roje has strat, tele, Les Paul and etc...
However, those guitars were just beginner level.
This ZEN-ON bass should be late 80's made.
Probably, this bass was made by Yamaki or Dyna, I guess.

This Rick model bass is very unique design. It looks like though neck body.
However, it is just set neck type. I never seen like this neck construction.

Pretty good condition Bass. It should be over 30 years old.
The neck, frets and electric circuits are proper condition with 42.5mm nut width.
Body weight is 3.92Kg.

I have been collecting many 70's made JV guitar.

If you are really fan of JV rare brands, just ask me.
Good era's great guitar !
