I’ve resorted to camping out and making a mild scene...just said “this was scheduled to be delivered yesterday. I have a hard time believing an attempt was made today and if it’s alright with y’all, I’ll just be here hanging around until it’s in my hands.” They close in 5 minutes, so we’ll see how sketchy things get after that
Have you seen 'Falling Down'?

It's a Gibson Non Reverse that's been customized for Leon, note the four knobs (and maybe a micro switch) and a metal extension fabricated after he was injured in the plane crash. The bass itself my be one given to him by JAE after the toured together.
That's really cool except for the last part, which sucks.

Modded Gibson NR. What Mark said.
No updates from @dukeorock -- somebody better switch on CNN....
I’m asking for help, I may not have been clear enough.
Start by wiring just the Vs -- do you get a signal?

No bass was ever located. I sorta kept my cool. The people working the counters were nice enough, it was the supervisor who kinda got me edgy. Quite mean. She came out and said, “the package can’t be retrieved for another 10-15 minutes and we’re already closed, so there’s nothing we can do today.” All I said was, “There’s plenty you CAN do for a package that was scheduled for delivery yesterday, there’s just nothing you WILL do. Huge difference.”
Yeah I figured. I read somewhere about the metal extension as Tbird1958 pointed out but was wondering about the knob placement and that bridge which I don't recognize. Can't seem to zoom in on the pic...
I've seen the Fenderbird the Ox gave Leon and didn't know he may have given him multiple birds..
This might help.
.047μF?
Also this. Run hookup wire from A to B to C and then to the output jack. Do the same with the grounds (pot cases). A multimeter should indicate a connection between your strings/bridge and the 'sleeve' connector on a 1/4" cable and none between strings/bridge and the tip.

My gang will just have to start learning to enjoy chewing gum then.
