Ok, here are pics with updated info... this is probably the hardest bass to photograph I've ever had. Is it red? Is it orange? Who knows?
But that's what makes it cool, in my opinion.
It appears that I DO have the original case candy. It's been so long since I opened the case I forgot I had it.
Exact weight is 9.24 lbs.
If you have any other questions, let me know!!!
Hipshot D-Tuner installed, with matching tuner.
The ash on this body has a super tight grain... Nice!
Check out that rosewood... yum!
Here you can see how I widened the control cavity to fit a regular sized tru-lefty tone control... it's a perfect fit and cannot be seen with the pickguard on.
Super fancy oil-can capacitor and reverse audio taper pots, for true lefty control and a nice, smooth taper from 0 to 10.
Another shot befor polishing, but it shows the ash a little better.
Original electronics... it has a mini tone control that is standard audio taper, so when it's wired lefty it works like an on/off switch. This is how it came from the factory. To me, the pickups sounded honky and didn't have much throaty low-mid girth. The Seymour Duncan Antiquity II pickups I put in sound WAY better.
The original case candy & hang tags... cable, strap, polish cloth, sticker, catalog, etc.
The original tuner.
Fender branded G&G case.
Official weight on the kitchen scale.
