Yes you can remove the batteries if you will always use  the DS5-R.

Although I doubt if you will sell this bass but, If you ever decide to in the future,  let me know. I'd love to have the first option to buy it.  
 
 
Bien que je doute de si vous vendrez cette basse mais, si vous d?cidez jamais ? l'avenir, louez-moi savent. J'aimerais avoir le premier choix de l'acheter.

It looks as if the original finish was a satin finish and the new finish is a satin finish.  
 
What a great deal for everyone involved.  I love Koa.

Correct. That finish is typical of Alembics of that era. Can't remember when they switched to high gloss, but I have had several '80s instruments that had this funky almost-kinda-satin finish.

Shawn, may you explain me why this bass is really lightweight compare to my SC deluxe ? Electronic's cavity ok, is the koa really lighter of cocobolo ?

I'm a little anxious for my ABW... anyway, I'm young and strong I hope for 20 years !

The Koa really is much less dense than Coco Bolo. The Series I is hollow core, your SC may or may not be, we have made them both solid and hollow core over the years.  
 
Your ABW bass will likely be closer to the SC than the Koa bass.

Thanks to give some news Mica. This Koa bas is really light in compare to my old SC series I in walnut, and REALLY lighter than all my SC & MK deluxe a????eee... The sound is great, rond, deep, loud, less metallic than my SC deluxe, Possible the position of pickups really close to the neck is working for less metallic or crystal sound ?

Yes, the bass pickup moved closer to the end of the fingerboard produces a bassier (and preferred) sound to me. The Koa also produces a much rounder and bassier tone than many other woods. It's one of the few woods I can teach anyone to hear clearly. Very distinctive.
