Description
An excellent player's grade Jazz Bass from 1966. The original finish has been stripped off the body making it now natural. The neck is silky smooth to play & the double single coils deliver rich, dynamic tones. Professionally set up with fresh strings & low action so it's ready to play straight out of the case.
