I approve on the pickup! I have one of those DiMarzios laying around that I got from my old teacher and its got a nice "ballsy" tone. In the bass I had it in, it sounded a lot like the bass from "I am One" by Smashing Pumpkins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc__oUqoPu8
That bass is pretty weird, I like the look of it!

i've seen these before.
definately weird.
comming of age in the 90's and getting far, far away from the hair metal as much as possible is why, i believe, bass building has gone back to such traditional styles. 10 years ago i wouldnt be caught dead playing something like this ... although i really wanted to.
as you guys know, currently, i'm trying to get away from, and actually kinda fed up with those traditional styles. p bass this and jazz bass that ... gimmie something with wicked curves and pointey. this bass would do it!
nice find.

that takamine is wild! i didnt even know they made basses. their guitars are beautiful. i dont like the red pinstripe on the edge, but i do like the flat black ... if i had this bass i'de definately give it a rebuild / refinish.

MM,
I guess Tak was just another company back then trying to get into the "I'll bet we can mass produce a bass and guitar that would make a BCR look tame" attitude??. I have no clue
As you know the acoustics are excellent..that thing is not a one of a kind, as a friend of mine from youtube has another one, he never knew what model it was either, so he calls it his TAK - X-bass. He got it from his uncle's estate when he died who didn't know either.
