Cosmetic Condition: The bass shows moderate cosmetic wear, with finish checking, scratches, and finish chipping present. The body has a few small patches of worn through finish on the front, along with numerous small dings behind the bridge. The back of the body has heavier finish wear and buckle rash, and the edges of the body have many small dings. The headstock face has light hazing, and the back of the neck has various small dings as well.
Serial Number: 140735
Tech Notes: The bass plays well with medium action and light neck relief, and is set up with extra light bass strings. The truss rod has limited adjustability, and so heavier strings would not be recommended. The frets are wide and low with light divots present up to the sixth fret. The appointments and serial number date the bass to 1972.
