Hi Freinds,
I?m back in the club with my new 5 String.
The previus owner make from a medium-scale bass a long scale......
See the picture, but it\s hard to find a cocobolo Alembic in Germany for a good price.

Intriguing modification! Conversion to 21 frets too, and unusual positions for the pickups. Enjoy it!

Beautiful top on the bass.  
 
Looks like the pickups aren't mounted properly- two of those screws should be mounted under the pickups, while the other two are on top.  
 
Interesting scale length modification- did they just fill the old lines in the ebony with some epoxy?
