A couple things about this bass. I painted the pick guard gray just to give it some contrast. This bass was all black. I hated it. The neck was sent back for warranty before I bought it. My guess is this is a 2008. Has a few dings in the head stock and swirl marks on the back of the body. Weighs 9 pounds on the bathroom scale. Will ship free in MM hard case. Any questions feel free to ask. NO trades just trying to thin the herd.
