Description
Very similar to the classic German-made 500/1, but the addition of a center block gives the bass much more sustain than the original. The neck is super comfy & plays great anywhere on the fretboard. The close-spacing Cavern pickups sound fantastic & deliver rich, gorgeous tones. Professionally set up & ready to play straight out of the case.

Old-style vertical headstock logo & open-gear tuners with oval buttons. 1.65" nut width with zero fret; 30" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works perfectly.
Body: Double-bound, violin shaped body in sunburst finish. Arched spruce top with pearloid pickguard. Trapeze tailpiece with adjustable bridge. Flame maple back & sides with flat back. Bass weighs 6 lbs 1.6 oz.
