Nice custom bass

I really like it:

Honestly . . . I'm scared. Partly by the headstock (I don't know if there's a headstock truss rod access hole in the middle of the peghead or not!).
Also this sentence doesn't help:
"[i]The neck is also AAAA Quilted Maple, with twin strips of Purpleheart running the length of the neck and headstock. These strips, in addition to the non-adjustable truss rod, provide excellent stability. [/i]"

I'm not too keen on the the control cover, it looks a bit loose. Better than I could do, but I wouldn't want to buy something like that.

Looks well rough to me

That Purpleheart board looks as though it should be awarded a Purple Heart

So, given that the hole for truss rod access was drilled, but the TR is "non-adjustable"... it's probably seized.

My thoughts were along the same lines - if that is or was a truss rod access hole. It could be a trick of the light or a blemish in the wood or finish - but I doubt it.
