The only non original item on this bass is that the original bridge was replaced with a BadAss bridge. I do not have the original. Included will be the original tolex G&G case, with all case candy. Also, this bass has a slight amount of wear on the bottom bout. I have included this in the pictures as best I could.
These basses have recently traded here at $1,400, so that is what I am pricing this beauty at.
As far as trades go, please let me know what you have. The worst I can say is no. I would be interested in EBMM Big Al (4 or 5) or a Sterling (4 or 5), particularly lighter models. Other 5's would have to have an 1.75" nut width; the only other 5's I would consider would be the new 2011 American Deluxe Jazz - I find that asymmetrical neck to be very comfortable, also I would consider Yamaha or Carvin as well. On with the pics!
