    I only see 3 tuners. Could this be the elusive Tony Levin 3 string Stingray?

    You need to adjust the pickup height on that cake... there's way too much pull on the strings!

    I had one just like this and still miss it 7 years later. The only thing different was the pickguard, it had a tort and it will make this bass look even better. In my eyes anyway.
