When he says plaque he doesn't mean tooth decay, right?
Interesting to see the Custom plate below the bridge. These show up on factory and less-than-factory Bigsby'd Gibsons to block the tailpiece mounting holes, which are rendered obsolete with a Bigsby is installed. I'm wondering why Gibson would install this at random on a bass.
The bound, inlay'd headstock is cool. Unfortunately I've only ever seen the split diamond inlay on Japanese Gibson-oid basses of various sorts, so that is where my mind went! Not doubting the authenticity at all, simply that the aesthetics are a bit Pacific Rim for me.
