Recently purchased, was interested in its specs

How long does the process take? Not rushing just curious

Jeffery,
That is a fair question to ask, your patience is appreciated.

My request took about a month and a half.

Mica does the best she can at getting to these - The build lookup is done in her 'spare time'.

So if the shop is busy than she is busy . . .

Jeffrey:

You can wait for Mica, but on the other hand... chances are that if you post a sufficient number of pics of your bass here someone will, at one time or another, have come across it or have the ability to give you a pretty close approximation of the specs based on the pics. All within 24-hours. This is an incredibly experienced and helpful group.

+1 on Brian's suggestion and his interpretation of the great community here.

Having trouble getting pics the right size to post

Jeffery, If you would like to send pictures to me I will gladly size for you. Art

jshull138 · « **Reply #7 on:** December 17, 2012, 07:10:46 PM »

That would be appreciated

jshull138 · « **Reply #8 on:** June 27, 2013, 11:09:39 AM »

Can I still send the pics for a resizing? Still haven't had a response on this so maybe the pics could help.

artswork99 · « **Reply #9 on:** June 27, 2013, 01:19:08 PM »

Of course, email them and I'll gladly size and post.

Here's a picture that Jeffery sent today. Nice!

Looks like koa to me- with a bit of flame to it. My second guess would be Bubinga, but I'm pretty sure that's a Koa top.

My guess would be solid Koa body.
As mentioned in another topic:

I think Mica said there were less than 100 made with a solid Koa Boy. (the first +/- 100)
Mine has serial # 83S2674

Picture of the back?

Nice score! Healthy dose of mojo included.

At that angle, you would have seen the contrast with the mahogany, like on my Spoiler so my guess would be solid koa. It might be flame koa, or what Mica calls watermark koa.

It's missing the pickup selector knob, I don't think you can turn it with your fingers. You can of course replace the selector with a pan pot - small investment, tremendous increase in the range of tones available. You can send just the preamp (and probably the pots and wiring harness) to the Mothership, and have them add a 3-way Q switch for even more tone choices.

Enjoy!

Rest of the pics coming today, got caught up at work. It is a solid koa body and you can turn it with your fingers, I haven't had any issues as far as that goes although the filter knob is a little off though.
