Just purchased for a steal and was interested in it's background.
 
Thank you!

Hi Keith,
 
Here's what I found in the instrument file:
 
XLB5 Excel bass
 
top: Flame Maple
accent pinstripe: Walnut
body: Ash
neck: Maple with Walnut pinstripes, 34 inch long scale
fingerboard: Pau Ferro
pickup: FatBoy56
controls: volume, bass, treble
output: mono, face mounted
originally made for: Guitar and Bass Place
birthday: September 22, 1998
 
Hasn't ever had a registered owner, and we've heard no reports on this bass since the day it was finished.

Thank you very much for your reply.  I am amazed that no one has ever registered this bass.
