Electronics look legit.
No doubt.

Not too sure about the provenance of the added circuitry, though. Or the side-mounted jack.

The added stacked pot is 100% NOT legit as we don't buy any stacked pots. I can't tell you anything about what was added, but a big hint about modifications is any sign of electrical tape is a clue it wasn't done here.

If you aren't demoing the bass in person to test to your satisfaction, I would ask the seller about the mods before purchasing this bass.

I didn't think the stack pot was original. The knobs appear to be EMG, so maybe someone integrated one of their BT circuits into this bass?

[OJ Dorson]

Very much looks to be an added EMG BT circuit. I wouldn't pay extra for this privilege.
