Condition

Condition: Good / Player Grade (Vintage)

This bass is in honest, player-grade vintage condition with authentic character and playwear accumulated over decades of use:

* Body & Finish: The gloss black finish shows surface swirls, standard pick scratches, and minor dings and finish chips located primarily along the edges, contours, and the back of the body (consistent with belt buckle contact and normal gigging).

* Neck & Headstock: The neck is straight and comfortable to play. The headstock corners show minor chipping and edge wear as pictured. The bound fingerboard and triangular inlays are intact and clean.

* Hardware: The chrome hardware (including the bridge, tuning machines, and jack plate) features a natural, age-appropriate patina and functions as expected.

An honest, great-sounding vintage piece with plenty of mojo and life left in it. Please review all photos closely for an exact look at the cosmetic condition.
