Not a lot known about this one.
Purchased this one about a month ago.
Great tone on the low B! and really large pickups!
Hopefully some info on its history..
...pict of the playing group plus a sneak peak of the 5 string Koa restoration getting close to completion!

Wow - really nice! Is that 32" scale? I bet it sounds great!

Lookin' good, Ed!  8)


*yep, those are the WAXY pickups.

Hey! 
Yep.  all 32.5" length. Believe that makes them medium scale?    Think I may go for a high C string up on that bass.    Just to give it a different application.  Its does sound, and play pretty differently than the 5 string Koa I restored.   
WAXY pickups?  Seen AXY and MXY but WAXY?  wondered about those.  They are very large indeed!
