This is an early M85 with dual Hagstroms and the deep body, black with white binding. I just rewired it with new caps, CTS pots, new switch and jack, all of the hot runs are shielded and it sounds better than ever. I was going to say I don't know why I waited 'til now to do this but having just done it I know the answer - it's quite a pain when the only access is through the pickup holes! But it's sounding really great.
Neck and fretboard are in beautiful shape, normal paint wear and chips. Holds tune like a piano, intonation is excellent.
This has been my bass for the past thirty-some years but I just have never played it enough to justify owning it and need cash to buy a hang-glider. I mostly play sax and have kept other instruments like this around for noodling - it deserves someone who can really use it.
