Dear Mica:

Having been meaning to register this bass and inquire about build information for some time.  Any help / information would be appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

John

First looksie is a no-go. Sorry, I couldn't find the file or a card on it. But they usually eventually show up, and so we always check back here when we find a stray record, or one that was misfiled.

Many thanks Mica.  I've attached a few photos if it helps for reference, including a shot of the top of the headstock.  I'm pretty sure I gave the right number, but it's not 100% clear...

Thanks again.

Sorry, other reference photos (front and back).  Thanks.

From the images, I can tell that the neck is likely Maple and Purpleheart, the fingerboard Ebony, back laminate Myrtle, and the top could be Walnut or Koa. The pickups are also at least 20 years newer than the bass. Not much, but it's a start.
