I don't actually possess this quite yet, but it's on it's way to me.

Fretless Essence

I'm thinking Zebrawood (?) top, Mahogany body?

Hmm. Interesting. I think you may be onto something. Here are more detailed grain shots:

Grain 1

and

Grain 2

Very close match in appearance to this Tulipwood Essence.

Thanks!

Hello Tom, congratulations lovely looking bass.
For me the Essence body shape is very comfortable to play also.....
I think you have too many numbers in the serial.

Thanks, Slawie

" I think you have too many numbers in the serial. "

Yeah, I noticed that after posting. Unfortunately that's the number reported by the seller. When the bass arrives tomorrow, I will post the corrected serial number.

Fortunately the previous owner had a pic of the actual Serial Number. It looks like the correct SN is 98K 11252 USA:
