What's with the speakers suspended from the ceiling? Monitor speakers with no boundary effects?

Also, is that a Yamaha GX-1 over in the right corner? Crikey. Only about 5 of them in the world.

A few more than 8 but still not something you see every day!

Or for different reverb effects?

How do you get a Precision neck on a neck through body?

Either you don't, ie, it isn't a neck though body, or you just make a neck through and slap a logo on the end.

Probably the former.

[Doctor J]

It's a bolt-on. Look at where the top side of the neck meets the body, it's a regular bolt-on neck pocket.

"Gibson Explorer-style body with Fender Precision Bass maple necks and machine heads; gold-plated hardware, two volume controls/one tone control.

 

Approximately six in total custom-made by luthier Peter Cook, in white (later given to Pete) and orange/red.

 

Used in studio only, 1975 and 1978.

 

As seen in the Who Are You segment of The Kids Are Alright film, 1978."

It’s actually the EX-1, the “theater” version of the GX-1, as described here. Still extremely rare and expensive, maybe a dozen or so were made.
