Weight: 6.4lbs

Case: Bag

Cosmetic Condition: Good condition.  There are a handful of imperfections on the bass including some finish cracks on the body near the pickguard, finish crack below the f holes on each side of the bass, a small ding on the back of the bass, as well as some other various dings and scratches around the bass.  Serial sticker is missing, so we do not know the serial of this instrument.

SETUP & INSPECTED BY OUR LUTHIER

Tech Notes: This piece was gone through entirely consisting of a neck shim (to correct neck angle), setup, cleaned, as well as a pot and cap were replaced to try to correct the volume roll off on the tone control, I was unable to correct that however. Setup to a medium action with medium low relief, the truss rod functions perfectly without issue. 

The tuners are just a bit weathered but seem to hold tune when you tune "up to" pitch, the tremolo system was missing an arm so I found a long arm I was able to fix in place with a few washers and nuts.  The tremolo does have trouble returning to the same place which is why it can exhibit some tuning issues.  Playability is medium action, with medium relief 6/64" to 5/64" measured at the 12th fret low string to high respectively, .012" relief. For the most part it plays great, evenly and comfortably, but there are a few high frets scattered around, including a good portion of the frets above the 14th fret. Wonder collectors piece in great condition for the age.  Very playable as is!

Binding: Super Kool Kent "Racing Stripe" Triple Binding

Neck: Triple Laminated Maple/Mahogany/Maple Neck

Fingerboard: Rosewood Fingerboard

Fret Markers: Real Abalone Fret Markers
