Background Research

A big more digging, and we've got most of the info we need:

For anyone who cares it was originally a Tobacco Burst. Not that you can tell, so I guess that's not important now!

To make things a little easier, someone in Japan made a really nice copy, and posted some pictures. Of course they're not the original, but they've done some good research, and their pics are a lot clearer than the ones of the real bass.

in additon to the standard components we're going to need:

a body without any finish.

A Bridge cover

Red Tortoise Shell pickguard

EB Pickup

Hipshot

A whole load of stickers.

Ideally we should use a second black pickguard to fill in the jack socket area (and bolt it down with some washers), but we can sort that later.

I've not found definitive info on the controls for this bass, but it's safe to assume they're the same as the Yamaha Attitude. From front to back that gives us EB-Volume, EB-Tone, P-Volume, and then two jack sockets.

Time to go shopping.
