Cosmetic Condition: The bass has aged nicely; the finish is glossy with light and consistent finish checking, light scratches, and other various small chips and blemishes.

The fingerboard binding appears to have been reglued in several spots, and there are a few chips in the fretboard from the previous refret.

The date stamp inside the bass f-hole has partially worn away, but a "6" can be read after "F," which dates the bass to the 1960s.
