Folks,
This is a '91 SB1 in incredible condition, a few tiny scuffs here & there, but nothing that will photograph other than a mark across the top back of the headstock. The neck & body date July & June 1991, respectively. Pre-lawsuit headstock, "By Leo Fender". It's natural finish w/rosewood board. Black crinkle hardware & pickguard, with original (or period) tolex case. Still has warranty card with it (with wrong date)! Weighs about 10 pounds, nut is 1 11/16". Serial number is B021287.
Plays beautifully, fast action, great frets, trussrod functions freely, sounds absolutely killer! (Kitty not included)
$700 shipped CONUS

| | | | I can attest these are very nice basses. I have one a bit older than yours with the maple board and with the gunmetal blue finish. Wonderful to play and sounds great. Like my 78 P but hotter and more present. I'm using Thomastic flats. Great either with a pick or fingers. That pickup is something else.
Mine is about 9 lbs.
Good luck with your sale. Someone is going to get themselves a very nice instrument. |

Whoever buys this will be happy!

Anyone? This is a crazy price for this era SB1!!! |

I really want a G&L but I think my heart is set on an L-1000..they are just so rare these days though.
