The heck is this?

[url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140594614467&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123"]Strange semi bass[/url]

Came up on my saved searches. The first thing is the pickup being "submerged" in the bass with the second pickup being completely hidden.

The second, there is no way to access the controls if something breaks.

truly strange

Whoa - just notice the "no access to the pots" - a bit of a schoolboy error. The answer to one of the Qs "In order to create the sealed cavity to the correct volume i had to include the electrics cavity, if i had added an standard access this would have compromised the cavity." is a bit odd - even if that was the case it is no excuse for making access to the pots impossible.

Reading the rest of the blurb, it seems the bridge p/up isn't a piezo in the bridge as I guessed earlier from the style of the bridge, but another MM type buried and not adjustable.

Just plain weird.

The idea that there is a "correct volume" for the cavity which must not be deviated from is bizarre. It might make sense on a true acoustic instrument, but not on a chambered solid body. Why not just come clean and say that the lack of an access panel is for aesthetics? It is an interesting looking instrument though, and someone out there may love it.
