Here are some pictures of the little rough spots on this bass. Everything is really small.

looks like someone tried to pry the cover for the truss rod and nicked it a little. Dana be good took it off and adjusted truss rod with no problems.

Speckled tuning peg. The other three are all textured like this. Tunes perfectly. these are the original aria pro ii tuners. I think it adds a unique look to the bass

Brass on the bass is a bit tarnished I'm not totally sure but I think this can be cleaned up. Ill do some research and shine the bridge and nut up if I can before sale unless you desire this sort of effect. Like an old ship! Hey I dig it and the bass sounds great. Thanks for looking.

These suckers are known for being on the heavy side. I don't have a bathroom scale. looking on the web I have been seeing people saying they are between 10 1/2 lbs and 11 1/2 lbs. but unfortunately I don't want to mislead you by guessing a weight so I won't. Youll probably want to do some research, i would assume they dont fluxuate in weight to much. Sorry

Interesting! 1981 was a Transition Year. What are the controls? Yours is the Pre-1981 layout according to the catalogs I've seen

I also have an '81 SB-900, which has the "New" control layout, which is missing a knob. These are Stacked Vol/Tone & 3 Position Pickup Selector with Series/Parallel toggles. What is your "Mystery Knob?"

I wouldn't POLISH the Brass, but there are Brass Cleaners that make the brass look good without going overboard. Alembic has a nice cleaner, and there is a "Trick" where you soak the brass piece in a certain brand of toilet bowl cleaner over night, and it looks good the next morning. Personally, I think yours looks Great! (Mine was Waaay over done!)
