I think they made these for a little while about 15 years ago.
It's a big bass, 34" scale, 9.8 pounds (on a fancy luggage scale).
Some neck dive w/ thinner straps.
Dual-Rail pickups deliver a wide range of tones.
Very good action, truss rod moves freely.
Very clean condition, but Not mint, though I've purchased new basses in worse shape.
Some round-wound wear on pickups.
Some black under the finish at the base of the neck.
No trades.
Its a fine bass ( my 3rd, o'er the years) but needing some cash and I've got finer ones.
Should be an assortment of pix below and some Manufacturer's Boilerplate for specs, but feel free to
ask what I've forgotten about.
$450.00 shipped to the Lower 48, $400.00 for local pick-up
Includes an uninspiring gig-bag.
OCD-level shipping.
