This bass has solid zebrawood body and rare circuit.  
scale is 32' medium.
I requested build record of this bass a few months ago but not yet replied. build record may be lost?

Solid Zebrawood bodies look so cool!  Nice electronics package too.  Very nice!

What exactly is that electronics package?
 
Signature with an adapter for power perhaps?

Well, it's not exactly signature since it looks like it has two volumes and a pickup selector switch.  The control layout looks similar to the Series I layout.  The 5-pin connector looks to me like it's only being used for signal and not power; i.e. you could switch between this bass and a Series bass and not have to change cables, but this bass would still be using battery power.  That's my guess anyway.

'room 037' told to me, this circuit looks like almost anniversary circuit.
 
5pin connector being used for not only signal but power.
Only +18v output from DS-5 being used. +18v is downed to +9v in cavity.
