Electronics: The pickups have been replaced, with a Seymour Duncan mini-humbucker in the neck position and Seymour Duncan blade humbucker in the bridge.

Serial Number: SE2576
Tech Notes: The bass plays well with medium-low action, and is currently set up with 40-90 extra light strings. The treble-side truss rod is stripped and cannot be tightened without replacement; the bass-side rod is adjustable, although it is at its maximum point. The neck has light relief, consistent on both sides, and the frets are narrow and fairly low with minor wear. The pot codes date to 1978, and the serial number dates to 1979.
