I can't think of any other reason for wires to be going up the neck. If there are LED's you will need the bass power supply to see them working.
That certainly is a beautiful bass that looks like the thickest contrasting body laminate i've seem. All the best if you decide to buy it.
Thank you! Yes, I had the shop confirm with me that it does indeed have the side LEDs working when power supply was connected.
Yes, I did pull the trigger (actually, I did as soon as it was posted) sight unseen, but I have dealt with this shop in the past (got SC sig from them in the past, along with 1 Status) and has been very good.
I won't see it till Nov, it will remain in Japan at my folks place.
Anyways, any build records would be very nice. And yes, it has the thick body, the electronics are all housed in one cavity, like the early ones are. (this one only has 2 cavities, one for battery in the middle, and one for all electronics, with holes for the adjustments)
What do ya'll think the top/back wood is? My guess is cocobolo.
Takeo
