First of all the previous owner beat the hell out of this bass, hence the incredible price. It's inception was 2004. It's looks relic'd. Like I said the finish has been destroyed and there is crud on the bridge and control plate, he also replaced one of the tuners. That being said this thing plays and sounds AMAZING. It's got mojo for sure. Alder body, rosewood board, Lindy Fralin pickups and Aguilar Opb-1. Volume, Volume, Bass, Treble (active,passive). Super round and punchy. Lightweight as well. Comes with a beat up HSC. $860 shipped
