Hi Mica, I got this Essence 6,  "00 K 12399" last summer. The finish looks new, and wondered if it was sent back to the mothership at some point. Thanks!

Very nice - I've got its twin in a 5 string. I wouldn't be surprised if those fret markers were added later on.

Sweet bass! Here's what I found in the file:

serial number: 00K12399
model name: Essence
model number:KLB6
top: California Walnut
accent: Maple pinstripe
body: Mahogany
neck: 5-piece Maple with 4 Walnut pinstripes
scale: 34" long
fingerboard: Ebony
side markers: bronze dots
pickups: Alembic MXY56
controls: "Essence" volume, pan, filter, mono output
originally made for: Manny's Music, NY
birthday: June 14, 2000

There's no note of the bass ever coming back here. I have to agree with Steve that the dots look like an add-on. I didn't state it above, but the fingerboard was blank when we made the bass.

Thanks a million, it clears up some questions, and it does look as though there has been some recent work.
