1966 5 String Bass

I just saw a photo of a page from the 1966 Fender catalog where the bass page had a shot of a JB a PB and this weird skinny 5 string. I just googled that quickly and nothing came up to match. Anybody have one...or ever see one in person...or can give me a link to info?
I wonder if it even made it to production.

Here's another pic I just found:

WHOA!!! First time I've ever seen one. I looked in my 63-64 catalog and it's not in there, only weird bass is the Bass VI... Now you've got me intrigued!

I've never seen one except in this old catalog...and never thought to even look for anything like it.
