This looks shifty - an Essence 4, but they make a point of saying the truss rod cover was "custom made" and is now conveniently devoid of a serial number. It's listed as 92K7353, but the only proof of that is a close up photo of a piece of scrapwood with the serial written in ink.

The serial number does not appear on the Stolen Instruments list or the News and Announcements page.

It may be hand-written in the control cavity.

That bass has already been covered here and here.
