| Cosmetic Condition: | The bass shows plenty of nice aging, with heavy finish wear on the body and back of the neck. There is heavy wear under the strings between the pickguard bridge, which has worn into the wood. The sides and edges of the body have heavy finish wear as well, and the wood has chipped slightly at the bass bout. The back of the body has heavy wear, buckle rash, and several large scratches. The pickguard has cracked at the treble horn and the output jack, but the metal shield is intact. The back of the neck has worn to a smooth and comfortable satin finish. |
| Serial Number: | 75318 |
| Tech Notes: | The bass plays well with low action and minor neck relief; the truss rod is adjustable. The frets are narrow and low with light wear. The serial number, pot codes, and neck/body stamps date the bass to 1962. |
