Wolf, this is my O'Hagan Blue-Z Jazz bass. This bass was created back in the 80's before the company went belly up from the recession. It was very rare for this company to create a neck-through bass, in fact they were made to order. I got lucky and found this bass on ebay after realizing it was steal of a deal, and it being one of a kind.  
 
I added a Bigsby.  
 
Yeah you heard it right, a fretless bass, with a bigsby, and it growls beautifully when I work the stick just right. ...And all the girls say Oui  
 
Peace and Love,
 
Hal-

That is a cool Bass !  I can think of the unique things that you can do with that Bigsby.

Some major changes to the fretless...are those Alembic PUPs? An explanation of the controls and closeup of the fretless would be good!

Toma hawk, All O'Hagans are neck through as far as I know. I collect O'Hagans & own several guitars & basses, all neck througasses whh. All of them I've ever seen are neck through. The fret less is very rare. All O'Hagans are hand made. only about 3,000 total guitars & basses were ever made from 1978-1983. So you do have a rare peice.

I was curious about O'Hagans electonics, too...
