Yeah! It’s a Nordstrand JC3B pre. My pal who installed it did up this lil cheat sheet for me. The push/pulls on the bass & treble knobs switch each pickup between series / parallel, respectively

Cimar Stinger (Japan, 1980). Always wanted an Ibanez Blazer in exactly this finish ('traditional violin'), but those are no longer 'up for grabs'. The Cimar is good, though, really good. And I think the 'Super B4' pickup looks great. It surely sounds terrific.
Looks cool. Is it affiliated with Ibanez? It has their heart-shaped tuners.
Crimson Guitars Youtube channel has a great build with one of these fretboards. It's the 'Boba Fret' build.

Is that pickup adjustable - can you move it forward in that route, flipping the spacer to the other side?
Beautiful man. Really nice.
Cool history lesson. Thanks! Enjoy the new bass.Cheers!
It is, this 1980 'Stinger' became the Blazer (which, at first, also had the non-split pickup, the 'cleaner' headstock (without the Blazer stripes) and the pointy body shape):
Did a thing today. Actually at the insistence of my wife. I pointed out the seriously black chunk of rosewood and she said get it so to keep the peace I had to take one for the team. I'm nice like that. Did my thing to it when I got home and I'm digging it hard.
Beautiful!!
That is seriously beautiful.
I hadn't seen Mystic Seafoam in person until today. It's much cooler than I had imagined. But the board really did it and I'm a mostly maple guy. No streaks, swirls, nothing, just black. It's a good addition.
It's a beauty for sure! Are you positive it's Rosewood? Maybe Ebony...? Does fender ever use Ebony, I truly don't know...?
Could be but I don't think they spec'ed ebony...just an amazingly good tree and luck.
Such sacrifice! The missus owes you big time!
Is that a new-production American Professional II ? If you don't mind me asking, where did you find it?
I've been intending to add an AmPro II, (by co-incidence being somewhat egged-in by the SO) to replace a late model OW that I sold to a friend (without mentioning it... oops) who really-really wanted mine. I'm wanting to find the "right" one on the wall somewhere though. I love that feeling when it happens.
Glad you did I'm really happy for you. That looks like a stunner.
If it is those notes will leap off the board as you probably know, ebony is much tighter grain. Reminds me a bit of maple in tone. Maybe slightly darker but not as dark as rosewood. If you have a chance could we see some close pics of the board?
I'm a giver.
