    "Phil" 5 string - mystery

    I got it fixed up. I got some new strings. I removed and oiled the truss rod nut and it is working great. Cleaned the pots. I set the intonation. Action is high but ok, maybe normal for a bass, being a guitar player I know squat. Had to replace the output jack. Now all is well. I'm...

    I bought this as a project. Nice looking build. Action is way high. I'm wondering if it was part of a small run or if it was some sort of prototype. Anyone seen anything like this? (I'm a guitar guy)
