Mica,

Seen used for sale.
Very interested in but still looking at it.
The History/Build Record would be deeply appreciated.
Especially I'm curious about the scale (long or medium).

Thanks,

Hi Shoji,

The official build card shows:

top and back: Schedua
body: Cherry
neck: Maple, Beech, Purpleheart
scale: long 34"
fingerboard: Ebony
inlays: mother of pearl
peghead veneers: Vermilion
birthday: June 23, 1977
originally made for: Rothchild


The dark tone is probably due to the combination of the Cherry core (my bass has this) and the Schedua top and back, which really emphasizes the lows.
