Really sweet looking bass Will. If it only plays half as nice as it looks, you got a keeper!
Just don't try to tell me that you're an "ex-leper".

You started younger than I. I was recruited into my first band in '73, when I was a senior in HS because I had a rig. I was playing a black block maple necked black jazz bass before Geddy found his. Paired with a 3x15" Kustom 200, I was ready to make some noise.
"I've never been tempted to have a threesome. If I had wanted to disappoint two people at the same time, I'd have taken my parents to dinner."
I'm more of a schlepper.

I need schleppers. Lots and lots of scheppers. That's no lefty Mikro I'm taking!
Izzat what a Hycon 73B used?So, she was using Kodak Recording Film 2475, eh?
That was a "sleeping porch" at one time, I betcha.
Ya mean like this(w/ custom thumbrest)Love my black on black Squire Jag SS...proof that I am still on the wrong side of the tracks:

The middle knob adjusts the volume on that useless skinny thing above the bridge.My main squeeze is a Fender P (Of course, it's SB, RW, tort, La Bella flats -- what, they come in other colors?!?). My younger brother acquired a wild hair and had Sweetwater send me a CAR Squier Jag SS one day a few years ago. It's heavier than my P! Couldn't believe it. I mean, it's short scale, so it's just gotta be lighter, right? Man, it puts out, though. Great tone, only had to make a few normal tweaks to the setup, but the skinny neck gets my hand a little crampy after an hour or so. I was thinking about putting lightweight Hipshot tuners on it, but I'm loath to spend the bucks on an instrument that's uncomfortable, or worse, possibly injurious to play. Oh, and what's the middle knob do, and what's that wide skinny thing right above the bridge?
Yes, they were used for that around the turn of the 20th century and well into the '30s, probably. Sleeping in "fresh" air was considered therapeutic, particularly for those thought to have TB. These days, most people don't know the term sleeping porch, even our architect either wasn't familiar with it or she had forgotten the term (perhaps architect students are not taught about that use of porches in medieval times.
When preparing for the ABR and for getting the building permits we use enclosed porch to avoid the legal requirements for a "bedroom". I spec'd the window dimensions (and everything else design-wise, as usual for me) to meet egress code, for ourselves, regardless of the final use of the porch (music room, I say; bird watching observatory, she says...........).

I saw that photo, but I missed the two screws at the back of the tailpiece; probably, my eyes were transfixed on the Blueline SVT.Here's Bean's 88 Ric:
Not sure, but most likely a specialized aerial large format roll film. Recording Film 2475 was actually a very grainy 1250 ISO 35mm roll film. Sort of an early precursor to TMZ (3200 ISO fine grain T-emulsion film). 2475 was popular among photographers that wanted that extra artsy-fartsy grainy look, beyond what TX offered, even when pushed a stop or two.
