Stunning. Got any construction pictures that show the chambered core?
And while we are asking, any audio samples?

Sorry, I have more construction photos but none without the top applied.

I also have no worthy demo recordings, but now I would like to make a couple comparing neck vs. bridge, dual-coil vs. singe-, etc.
I have a lot of "free jazz" recordings with a mic'd Berg. HS210 and Walkabout, but the tone is definitely colored by the amp/cab.

I did use this bass to record on tracks 1, 2, 4 and 6 of a friend's album (ffw track 1, intro is a bit long) -- active mode, dual-coil, pickup knob rolled to about 80% neck, way too much midrange dialed-in, either direct into an Apogee Ensemble or possibly through a Demeter VTBP-201s (not sure):

Here's another playing through a neglected Ampeg house rig. Yancey (an outstanding bassist) is the guy playing baritone guitar in this group. (Once again, active+dual-coil+mostly neck pickup+a ton of mids):
