Ownerâ??s Note: This based has been restored to nearly new condition. Professionally set up with bone nut and dressed frets. The tuners are original new replacements. This bass is fun to play and I would rate it a 9.5 out of 10 only because the bridge was polished up instead of replaced.
This is a true vintage bass with serial number U98070435. It comes with the rare original hard school case. This is a quite large case measuring 50 inches by 20 inches.
It has new GHS light strings. It even comes with the original hang tag.
