Description
What makes this bass special: A rare 4005 bass that's 100% original & a superb player. But what really makes the bass magical is the stunning array of birdseye figuring all over the body, making it truly remarkable indeed! The slender profile neck is super comfortable & plays great anywhere on the fretboard. Professionally inspected & set up by the experts at Cream City Music, so it's ready to play upon arrival.
Cosmetic Condition: Really nice shape for being 50 years old & shows good, honest play wear - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; scratches, weather checking & some finish wear. Overall the bass has an ultra cool, true vintage look with a gorgeous patina.
Neck: Slender profile maple neck with nicely aged white binding & black side-dots. Rosewood fingerboard with crushed pearl inlays. Frets are in great shape with hardly any wear & tons of life in them. Tuners are in perfect working condition. 1 11/16" nut width; 33 1/2" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rods work fine.
Body: Semi-hollow maple body with beautiful birdseye & flame figuring. Bound "slash" hole & bound back with checkered pattern. "R" tailpiece with 4-saddle adjustable bridge. Single-ply white pickguard is in great shape with no cracks & still has its original clear plastic finger rest. Bass weighs 8 lbs 9 oz.
Electronics: Original "toaster top" single coils with 3-way toggle switch. Dual volume & tone controls with "boost" blend. Pots date to '68; mono & stereo outputs. All electronics are in perfect working condition.
