Description
A dynamite player with an ultra cool, true vintage vibe! The full size neck humbucker offers a warm, rich tone & the short scale makes playing tons of fun. Professionally set up & ready to play straight out of the case.
Cosmetic Condition: Various nicks, chips, dents & dings; scratches, weather checking & some finish wear. There's a minor headstock crack on the treble side that was professionally glued & is very stable. There are extra holes in the pickguard & top of the body from previous tugbars. There is also a 2 pressed into the back of the headstock, indicating the bass was a factory second. Overall the bass has a great look to it with a nice patina.
