I like the rolled edges on the pickup cavity. Yes that is a quick call HDFixer. :-)

I think you got a great deal on that bass.  How does she play/sound?

What a great bass!  Quite a bit lighter than I was expecting, balances perfectly, fast neck with good string spacing.  Intonates exactly and tone for days with the S1 controls.  A little noisy, which I expected due to her age,  will likely send to the Mothership soon for the RF upgrade.
