Body Material: Maple
Body Details: Neck-through maple body with maple wings and walnut center strip
Neck Material: Maple
Fingerboard Material: Rosewood

Neck Thickness (IN): .91" (2nd fret), .90" (12th fret)

Neck Details: Neck-through maple neck with walnut center strip, bound and lacquered rosewood fretboard, triangle inlays, and dual truss rod. The treble side truss rod is near its maximum adjustability.
Electronics: Original Rickenbacker pickups and wiring harness, with mono and "Ric-o-Sound" outputs, 3-way toggle selector switch, and volume/tone controls for each pickup. The pot codes date to 1977.
Pickup Measurements: N/A due to wiring scheme
Hardware: The bridge has a non-original height adjustment screw on the bass side.
Modifications/Repairs: The height adjustment screw on the bass side of the bridge has been replaced.
Case Details: Original hardshell case
Cosmetic Condition: The bass shows normal play wear for its age. The finish is glossy with small scratches, dings, and assorted minor blemishes; the back of the body has moderate buckle rash. There are a couple spots where the binding has shrunk away from the body, but it is secure. The hardware has some spots of rust but is adjustable; the jack plate is fully rusted over, however, rendering the serial number illegible.
Tech Notes: Plays well with low action and light neck relief; the bass is currently set up with 45-100 bass strings. The treble side truss rod is near its maximum adjustability, and the treble side of the neck sights with slightly more relief than the bass side. The bass has been set up accordingly and plays cleanly. The frets are moderately tall with light wear. The serial number on the jack plate is rusted over; the pot codes date to 1977.
