Sweet--thanks for posting. And bonus, if you go the full version of the Bass Player Magazine that has this--also on the cover of this issue Jack Casady's current/latest Epiphone bass. Come on, the two best rock n roll bassists and their axes in one issue...nice
Bob; Im not Jewish and don't know what it means or even what the connection is.
My observation is that this diagram seems to be the same one inlaid in LED's on this bass.
would just like to hear the zone's thoughts on that, if there are any.
Mice I got my answers. It is the Kabbalah representation of the Tree of Life. Not sure why I didn't recognize it as I've seen it in different depictions or configurations. It is very mystical. In any event for anyone interested:
The Tree of Life, or Etz haChayim (עץ החיים) in Hebrew, is a classic descriptive term for the central mystical symbol used in the Kabbalah of esoteric Judaism, also known as the 10 Sephirot, and the 22 Paths. Its diagrammatic representation, arranged in 3 columns/pillars, may derive from older sources and is not known to the earlier Jewish tradition.[citation needed] The tree represents a series of divine emanations of God's creation itself ex nihilo, the nature of revealed divinity, the human soul, and the spiritual path of ascent by man. In this way, Kabbalists developed the symbol into a full model of reality, using the tree to depict a map of Creation.
What they don't mention is Phil stopped playing it because it was always in the shop for tweaking and repairs and he got fed up and went back to basics (bass-ics?) with a Fender Jazz, G&L, and the Irwin, before settling in on 6 string basses. Hard to believe a then-$20 000 bass would get 'forgotten' in a storage locker.
The back of the guitar comes off as two "wings" which allow access to the inner cavities and electronics, in case anyone is wondering what all those screws are for.
the eyes (iris/pupil parts) in the stealie inlay are opals, and the "whites" are inlaid of hashish.

That's a beautiful instrument. Be nice to see it in Phil's hands again.
