All original condition with no mods. Rare slot head pole piece era. 1 piece mahogany body with really nice grain. Electronics are quiet and function properly. The neck is straight and sets up nicely. It has a LITTLE bit of ski jump when you sight down it, but it doesn’t cause playability problems. Looks like the frets were leveled once, but still good life left. Bass is good weight at approximately 9 lbs. Included is a 90’s G&L case that fits bass perfectly. Both end latches are broken, but otherwise in good shape.

Could you describe the neck in more detail? Particularly the "ski jump" problem you mentioned and the condition of the frets? I am pretty tempted to make an offer but that makes me a bit nervous...

I see a SMALL amount of ski jump kink right in the normal spot for these and Fenders when I sight down the neck. The bass however plays well with no fret buzz in the highest frets. My guess is it was compensated out when someone leveled the frets (I can see that the frets were leveled once, but it was before I owned it). The current set up is medium low. The bass plays great, I just believe in describing instruments very accurately so that there are no surprises.
