Well, I guess I shouldn't say 'new' because I've had it for a while, but I finally got the camera out to take some pics. Its probably the biggest sounding bass I've ever heard... of course, the equally old Marshall Superbass head and Peavey 215 help a bit with that...

It was actually made sometime between 79 and 82, I believe. Mahogany neck and body. The bridge pickup is a actually humbucking, not a single coil. So is the neck. The pickups are wound unusually... the neck pickup is wound in circular coils around the staggered pole pieces, and the bridge pickup's windings are paralell with each other, as opposed to above and below. It doesn't have a conventional truss rod, either. I wish I could have found the charcoal grey model, but beggars cannot be choosers.
