This be them
 
My two Koa's:

I bought this one piece body in the early 80's when it was sold by DiMarzio, which was trying to break into the outboard parts market a la Schecter. Loaded with passive Aero I's, stack knob for each with a master volume that pulls up for series on a Padauk control plate. Warmoth Padauk J neck/Ebony fb.

I adore this one :)
Thanks much. This body became my second "real" bass after a dozen years with my '70 Tele. Wore that body out with mods and got this one. Mounted the Tele neck on it and had 3 DiMarzio J's in it for a number of years. When it was finally time to resurrect the Tele it became this. I play it often, and it's the warmest sounding J I own.
