BASS COMPARISON Greco JB500 '77 Matsumoku VS Fresher 80's Fujigen  

I'm with you on that one too

Thanks for the input. I Think am getting mixed up with Hoshino Gakki (Ibanez) and I always thought these 80s Fresher were also made by Fujigen!

Yep, it's the logo. Fujigen builds began in about 79 and had gold and black logos. Matsumoku had just plain black.

@@BassJapanDirect Another Matsumoku build for me with this PB 450 then (four of them in the arsenal now). For years I thought it was a Fujigen. But simple black logo and "Electric Bass" on the headstock. So there we go. Both great factories, still. Do you have any preference build-wise?
