Description

What makes this bass special:  100% original & a wonderful player with an ultra cool vintage vibe.  The spruce top shows off some really eye-catching wide grain & the neck is super comfortable play, up & down the fretboard.  Professionally set up & ready for action straight out of the case.

Cosmetic Condition:  Typical play wear for a 50-year old bass - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches, weather checking & some finish wear.

Neck:  Rounded maple neck with nicely aged cream binding & black side-dots.  Beautiful dark rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays.  Frets are in great shape with practically no wear.  Closed-back tuners are in good working condition.  1 5/8" nut width with zero fret; 30" scale length.  Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.

Body:  Double-bound, violin-shaped body in sunburst finish.  Carved spruce top with nickel trapeze tailpiece & adjustable ebony bridge.  Pearloid pickguard & control plate.  Maple back & sides with some light flame figuring.  Bass weighs 4 lbs 15.9 oz.

Electronics:  Hofner "blade" pickups with large black bezels.  Dual volume controls with "tea cup" knobs.  Rhythm/Solo, Bass & Treble switches all in good working condition.

Case:  Vintage hardshell case included.
