Who Says SBMM Has Poor Quality Control?!

I'm glad to hear it plays great. So cool! As much as I love the mismatched wood I probably wouldn't have bought it afraid of what else they overlooked/cared less about.
They do that because it improves the tone. See you take a nice piece of figured wood and mate it with a piece of bland-looking tone wood. You end up with a unique bass that sounds 1/2 as good.
It was made by the humbucker guy that day. Hum cancelling wood.
 
Your bass appears to be a Ray24 as it has the nicer old school bridge and no contours on the body. It also has a real rosewood fretboard as opposed to a substitute.
Yes you are correct it plays great it caught my attention with the flame maple part on the upper part of the bass. I use it in my bass rotation of my other three basses. G&L L2000,Skyline Laklands DJ4,and Lakland 44-02 Thanks!
