I belive thats a Magnum 4.

 

The Magnum3 had knobs, and no graphic

Thank you for pointing that out! I just corrected it...

Dont forget the neck pickup has individual volume control for each pole for string volume balance, which can be

seen in the posted  photo of that lovely neck pickup

 

I had a Mag 3 - lovely beast of a bass.

Thanks for posting the picture. Yes, that´s an awesome feature indeed!

BTW I have a Magnum 3 for sale too, in case you are looking for one of these.

I have switched to playing mainly upright bass, so I´m letting my other basses go...

Thank you, Gabriel1918. It´s a beautiful bass indeed, and it plays even better than it looks :-)

You can see the thought and care gone into its design and manufacturing.  
 

That is a thing of beauty (unlike my bank balance sadly)

100% agreed! Alone the quality of the ebony used for the fretboards on these is quite something. The custom made Schaller bridge, graphite reinforced neck and the whole especially designed pickup/EQ System...An instrument built new today, with specs like this one would cost a fortune...I think the Magnum is one of the best basses ever built. Which is why I have two of them. I´ll also be selling the passive one, as I have switched to playing upright bass.
