Most likely as the phone thinks the subject matter is too bright and using a higher shutter speed/smaller f-stop/shorter flash duration. Typical, like a snow or beach scene when you have no control over the automatic exposure system.

I know how dorky this sounds, but I get excited every time I see the top routing on this bass.

When a Strat body is routed with a large pickup cavity to allow for various pickups configurations that is commonly referred to as a
swimming pool route.
In this case, I assume it is for the distortion electronics and/or battery.

Ah, I imagine you are right then. I'd already forgotten about the distortion unit. I am just excited to see a Ric bass without a big neck pickup route, to be honest. I think you are right to call this a swimming pool though since it is definitely different than how a 4002 looks, I think they have two smaller routs for each pickup normally.

Maybe this could inspire a new model?

I'd be more excited to see those pickups mounted in the same locations,but mounted like 4004's. (No swimming pools or plastic pool covers). Might as well throw on a Schaller bridge while yer at it.
