I used to own this bass. This bass has made the rounds several times over the years, and I have some good documentation on its history from the original owner, Mike, who I sold it back to. It has undergone several mods. This was originally ordered as an Advanced Pilot with active EMGs. The 4th lowest knob was vacant when I bought the bass because Mike said that was where the EMG active switch was, but some other owner removed it. Guild didn't offer a lefty Kahler tremolo system back then, so Mike had the lefty hole for the tremolo bar tapped for a lefty at Guild.
The bass now has Seymour Duncans installed (what happened to the original EMGs?), and the 4th vacant hole now has a pot/knob for something. Not sure what. Here's a pic of when I had it. (I also have photos of the original owner Mike playing it back in the day which he was kind enough to send me).
