I am the original owner. I gigged and pampered this bass for many years.
OH, NO:
The pickup mounting screws are stripped and ought to be replaced. The pickup height cannot currently be adjusted. One of the plates covering the P-pickup's rout was cracked during installation of the EMGs in 1986. It is not very obvious, and has never been an issue, but the crack goes clear through the plate. The ebony fingerboard shows wear and some discoloration.
OH, YEAH:
This bass has remarkable sustain, feels solid, sounds good and stays in tune. It is comfortable and easy to play. Strung with Chromes flats. I think it has a strong Rickenbacker vibe.
The finish is nice, extremely shiny. Nothing I would call a ding, but if you tilt it just right you'll see many indentations, none of which go through the finish. Except for a few tiny ones, the surface indentations are all on the back.
The little switches work but are not hooked up. (They were phase switches originally.)
Includes OHSC (solid and functional, with obvious road wear).
$450 Shipped CONUS. I do not want to trade it for another bass, but might consider accessories in partial trade.
