The top also has the shadows of two hand-shaped stickers between the bridge and control panel; these are visible only at the right angle or under a black light. The edges of the body show shallow dents and a few finish chips. The back of the neck and edges of the headstock show some small finish chips. The metal hardware is lightly tarnished with age. |

| Tech Notes: | The bass plays well with low action and optimal neck relief. The frets are medium with light play wear. The serial number dates to 1973 and the neck stamp is illegible. |
