Should be a stereo bass. The fingerboard looks wrong. Never saw the crushed pearl look like that.One truss rod.I'm sure there's plenty more.

The skunk stripe is too wide and the routing doesn't look right.

Reminds me of the old Carrot Top joke about ladders and the NotAStep wording on the little platform thingy.

One truss rod, pickup routings dont look right, not sure about that bridge routing, the routing for the wires should have been done with a forstener bit, and yes it should be routed for two inputs.

Ehhh?? ehhhh?

Looks like my old Univox Ric copy...

BTW, that was the bass that I bought because I couldn't afford a real Ric back in the '70s - the quality was pretty phenomenal and the it sounded pretty good too. But, I liked it just to sell it to order my first Ric in the early '80s.
