Interesting headstock splice. Would you be willing to post more pix of that?

Sweet baby Jeebus, that's a looker.

I sometimes use a high stool to sit on because I am lazy and old, but also because I use a looper and pedals. That's my excuse. I have a guitar hanger screwed to the stool so I can use it as a stand when not playing. It looks kinda cool with that. Functional.

I got my decal paper from eBay. I only needed one sheet. I had painted the bass above using good quality auto rattle cans, and used the same brand clear coat to finish. Homebase, B&Q etc have similar products.

It is not a veneer. It looks like a very thin film layer. On YouTube there is a video by a guy who repaired the cracked photo flame layer on the headstock of a BBG. He removed the aged and cracked film, and replaced it with real veneer. Very clever.
There was also one on eBay, in Italy I think, with very obvious age cracking of the film on the lower bout of the body.
It is correct that the film does not show the chatoyance of a real veneer, which is a dead giveaway. I think they are beautiful and very playable basses, photo or no.

If you take the neck off, or the pickups, you will see that there is no maple slab top, just a film layer.

Cor, that's a lovely thing, that is.
For country of origin, check the wee oval label on the back, at the bottom of the body.

Nice looking bass. Slimmed the neck down?! What sorcery is this?

I've just had moulds made for my hearing aids. The audiologist put tiny sponges on strings into my ears before applying the two part silicon glop. No drills involved. I am looking forward to getting them next week.

I've got an M80. Bomb proof. You can get an amazing amount of stuff into it, until it becomes very difficult to wrangle in and out of cars, etc.

My first decent bass was a BB1000. I had it defretted by Norman Reed and a Jazz pickup added. I wonder where it is now.
