Build info would be appreciated, as I didn't get the card with this one.

Here's the story,
 
top: Flame Walnut
accent: Maple
body: Mahogany
neck: 5-piece Maple with Walnut pinstripes
scale: 34 long
fingerboard: Ebony
inlays: Pearloid (plastic) ovals
side markers: inlaid bronze dots
pickups: 2 MXY56
controls: volume, pan, filter, Q switch, bass cut/flat/boost, treble cut/flat/boost, mono output
finish: Satin natural polyurethane (oil-look)
birthday: June 11, 1998
originally made for: Mars Music
 
Now you know what I know about this bass. There's an Epic floating around with the same serial number except for the W code for the Epic.

Mica,
 
I really appreciate the info, especially on the finish. It has acquired a number of shiny areas and I couldn't tell whether it was all supposed to be a gloss finish and the rest had gotten dulled, or if it was a satin finish and some areas had gotten polished through use. Now I know!  
 
Thanks,
Loch
