That's the first (and, for sure last) "Bridge thru body" MM ever made...

Nigel Tufnel would appreciate that sustainer.

Some "post-industrial Bauhaus" piece of art !

That said, the neck looks really nice (birdseye...?)

I dont think that dude should be trusted with musical instruments.

Do not leave this person alone in a room with your basses!!!

Hey what's the deal with this bass? It has a strings thru body bridge I thought that was only on pre EB Stingrays and the 30th aniversary model.

Good point...that DOES seem odd.

 

[mobis.fr]

these were my thought too, but maybe it is a special model? i don't know. when it will arrive (hopefully tomorrow) i'll check out the serialnumber.

EB has made (and probably still does make???) some limited run Basses with string-through-body bridges for the European and Japanese markets. "Musicman Nut" (Dave) has a nice example of said Bass finished in "Gunsmoke Silver" (below) which I believe was 1 of 200 made for Japan.

I have a guy in Tucker Georgia that is going to mod my '02 Stingray for String through body (not original but it is my bass and I don't plan on getting rid of it, i'm just making it a bass that I want to play)...he did the same to my Fender Jazzbass before I sold it and you couldn't even tell that it was not an original option. this guy even drilled the bridge and prettied up the holes that he made to string the bass...

I'd 100% recommend him for any guitar repair and modifications

speaking of German engineering

Wow!
I guess it's true that one can learn something new everyday, that's something i didn't know.
Thank's

so someone has bought that?????

 

[ras1983]

Looking at that photo, it's easy to see why there is no buckle rash on the rear of the body - the bolts protrude just enough to prevent the bass from getting any nearer than half an inch from the belt buckle.

yeah but is there any bolt rash on the player's stomach?
