| | | | Other than the cosmetics i can't tell the diff between new.
its set with a low/medium action and has just a touch of neck relief. I may raise it a bit and reset the intonation just cause it's my preference.
Acoustically it sings with no dead spots.. just what i would expect.
Have not plugged it in yet. |

Not cosmetically perfect was my goal. If I wanted to pay for as new i would just have bought a new one. Anybody else out there got a sub $1k SKB 3006? |

I'm thinking of the lyrics to a John Hiatt song:
"I don't know who they think they are
Smashing a perfectly good guitar..." |

Talk about underrated artists I think hes one of the unsung heroes of American songwriting.
But i digress |

That is an awesome bass you have! Enjoy it!

Did the seller ever tell you what actually happened to it?

There's an ugly story behind that - you should probably be glad you don't know it.
