Picked this bass up in a trade and did a fresh setup with new strings. Sounds and plays great! The bass has some paint missing from the headstock around the corners. Not sure if it was thin paint from the shop or misuse from the previous owner. Or both. I also got this bass without a pickguards. I understand that a Stingray pickguard will fit just fine one it. This is a passive version that was made in 2003. Less common then the active subs. The controls are volume/T Cut/bass cut. Comes with a hard shell case that's in great shape! Looking for trades of any kind or make me a cash offer.
