Description
Made for only a very brief period around '67-68, this ultra cool Italian beauty is 100% original & features some truly unique qualities: Built-in G Tuner, Treble/Bass Booster & Distortion effects provide the player with an array of sonic textures. The hollow body design makes the bass light weight yet very resonant. The super skinny neck is ideal for guitarists who also enjoy playing bass & the classic sunburst finish really rounds out the package. Professionally set up by us with fresh strings & low action, so it plays & sounds great!
