Description
This is an incredible bass through & through. Every element is fantastic, starting with a wonderfully natural resonance that makes playing it a true pleasure. The maple body is gorgeously figured under the Cherry finish & gives this bass loads of character. The small round neck is extremely comfortable & easy to move around from the nut to the cutaway. The humbucker in the neck provides a ton of low end response while the mini humbucker in the bridge adds a bit of punch & definition. Engaging the baritone switch gives the bass an even fatter & warmer bottom end that is as satisfying to hear as it is to feel, especially emanating from the perfect bass rig. If all that wasn’t enough, the bass is in excellent condition for its age. It shows very little wear & was well taken care of. This beauty deserves a home that will treat it as well as the last, so don’t waste any time getting a hold of it, because in this shape it surely won’t last long.
