I thought they were the top-secret tone pocket that makes Heinz what he is.
Either that, or storage for extra condiments. Not sure which.

So, why is the neck off anyway? putting some more oil on the neck?

That color has been called many things, but it really is trans green. It's never been very green, even when it was brand new -definitely more of a mustard yellow (thus the name, plus he's always seemed vaguely German for some reason).
The neck was off for easy shipping.
For you noobz, "some" of the story (but not nearly all of it) is here:
Heinz the Stingray 5
I left out some details that now escape me, like Rex owning Heinz but never actually taking possession, which also happened, I think, with the guitar player in my band.
Oh, and bassmonkeee being employed as a Heinz Mule and so on.

Hah, reading this I realize that I had Heinz for about 3 years, and also that you need to add the last chapter to the story. I men latest of course.
Also, I must add that Heinz is indeed a beast of a SR5.

Didn't you read the thread?
Heinz just left Sweden, I played him for about 3 years and then me, stankface and bovinehost got into some heavy trading, so now Heinz is once again back in Texas, with Jack.

Sorry. I did read the thread, but managed to mix up the chronology anyway.

...yet always seems to be welcomed back with open arms...
I never realized that Heinz had such nice woodgrain... it's actually kinda nice

It is a nice piece of wood -and the grain helped bring Heinz home when he was hanging in a Guitar Center. One of the old Pit guys sent me an email with a photo after seeing it hanging in the used section - "Could this be Heinz?"
We all thought he was gone forever after being traded to GC.
But that grain on the front, especially on the upper horn? Hard to mistake for any other bass.

Owen (2.5 years old) finally gets his moment in the studio with Dan and Jack and Heinz.
His eyes are not always that scary.

That would be interesting - Heinz was gone to Sweden when he was born.
But he might be the one. Jeremy could care less, but this one says, "Bass?"

I tried to buy a trans green SR5 in 2001, what I ended up with was trans teal, I kept her anyway... Still wish I would have retuned it for the color I wanted. This Heinz, or trans green. But the teal was really cool at the time.
