Great point........I asked for some more info, this is what came back. CITES may well be interested.........
about exterminator bass,basically i can make 3 versions,
-bolt on ,this style can be like original with laminated 3 pieces body
walnut canary walnut,hardwood neck,on original was used very rare tulipwood neck,not exactly tulipwood,but here called guayacan rayo,is similar to canary but harder,or other,from semihard to extra hard,
-neck thru version,recomended with semihard neck thru,and walnut or other wings
-slab one piece,,on that case i would need to use semihard wood for some kind of static good neck,and make some slimer, this model is +3 inch fat body
original near 4,so would be matter of avoid excess of weight for using a harder wood that walnut
for 4 string bass,or 5 ,1 truss rod
for 6 or 7 2 truss rods,,,this models has 1 inch wider body just for avoid that it seems not good about unit of neck and body
pickups,hardwound,but also EMG or economic, i can get Shadow economic,very good quality or others similar,
all the other by the way,
usually i need to make a complete study for the work,i tell you only in basic lines,but we would need to make a complete specs checking
thanks a lot have nice day
