The one-liner

The burl maple veneer gives this five-string AIO S8-5 its first impression, while an alder, walnut and maple laminate body meets a nine-piece neck-through build. Its 35-inch scale and 18V active three-band circuit make for a distinctive long-scale setup; available documentation identifies Vietnam as the build location and Los Angeles for final setup and quality control.

The story

The close-ups follow the build from the rear body and neck joint to the headstock, showing the layered neck-through construction, Grover Mini tuners and individual bridge saddles. Two soapbar humbuckers feed an 18V active circuit with push-pull master volume, blend and three-band EQ. One photograph also records the pickup cavities with the pickups removed.

When documented, the bass weighed 4.045 kg and wore La Bella 760FS-B-TB Deep Talkin’ Bass flatwounds. This example is in Near Mint condition. Available records note home use only and that its action and intonation were set before it was packed in the original packaging.
