Looks good enough to eat Hardy- what kind of woods- wenge and bubinga?

Wenge and cherry wood I would say. The woods look like on every bass of that year. Only... like with a natural oil finish. Maybe the pre owner waxed this bass once a week. Never seen such an effect before.
 
I finally got the MXR Bass Synth pedal today. I've played around with it a bit, and I like it for the most part, but the tracking isn't quite as good as what Mr. Alison would have us believe.

No, I actually quite like it. The "Nine Inch Nails" preset was giving me some trouble, but I've been having fun with it otherwise.

I’d love to get one second hand, just gotta wait a little after the initial hype vanishes.

Did you already try the different tracking settings? I never played one before but read from different buyers that the standard setting is for 5 string basses and you can set it for 4 String basses for better tracking if that is what you're using.

Yes, I did find that setting and do that, thanks. 👍
 
Just for reference, the issue I was having was with notes right around the fifth-fret C dropping out completely while using the NIN preset. It really hasn't otherwise misbehaved. It's possible to tweak the sensitivity, but I haven't messed with that just yet. I've been using a P-bass strung with dead flats, just because the lack of overtones supposedly helps with tracking, but I do want to try it with some brighter basses and see if it changes anything.

Couldn't resist - was in the planning stage to build a Jazz bass out of Warmth parts when I found this- mind you I wanted something in a whiter white than the Olympic and Vintage whites offered by Warmoth- price wise is it was a little over a couple hundred bucks than the Warmoth, perhaps less, depending on my pickup selection, but it will come with one of those SKB molded TSA cases.
