Never seen one of those either.
It seems this is the sale you refer to, because that one too has a Seymour Duncan Jazz bridge pickup:

Quoting from that post:

I'm not exactly sure what the production year is, but from what I've heard Fender Japan didn't make these for very long.(I've read sometime around 2000, and ending sometime around 2004) So, they don't come around too often. You might find 3 or 4 at most per year on Ebay.
It sounds pretty cool. It's kind of a nice middle ground between a P bass and a Hofner. It definitely has the character of a hollowbody, but the jazz pickup keeps things clear enough that you can use it in quite a few different situations.

There was a post on tdpri about MIJ Fender Thinline basses:

but the link to the Fender Japan site doesn't work any more.
A quick google returned this other pic of a same bass plus another thinline.
