Vintage Hagstrom Futurama bass,1964,Sweden,all original,great thin neck,fast player, great tonality

Here is a 1964 Hagstrom Futurama bass in fine shape and 100% original and functional. Cosmetically, the bass is in pretty great shape for a 54 year old instrument. These basses have a wooden body with the classic and classy Hagstrom face cover. Nothing comes close to the mojo exuding from this styling. The bumped out jack and control plate are to die for. Electronically, this bass is great. Everything works cleanly, with excellent tone. The pickups are strong. Serial number 611364. This bass is ready to gig. These basses were made in Sweden from 1962-1966. These models are becoming more and more sought after, mainly due to the awesome "broomstick"neck, very retro control plate. (I have a bunch of Hagstroms and they all are great players). Hagstrom was not really one of the major contenders in the 1960-70's US market because they were expensive to import and didn't really get as much attention as they did in Europe.

The neck is maple with rosewood fingerboard, 21 frets, dot inlay, 31 inch short scale. The action is low and plays great.  Original chrome head tuners. Headstock logo intact. Kings Neck emblem present on the back. No buzzing, frets are fine.

The bridge is adjustable original, chrome and rosewood.  

The electronics work perfectly with nice sounding pickups , excellent tonal variation, all mini switches works great. There is one switch for each pickup on/off, one switch for tone and one switch for mute. All combinations yield a different great tone (although I rarely use the mute and tone, just because I like things pretty bright) Original black volume knob.

The case is original and in servicable shape with all latches working and minor breaks (some gorilla tape on the lower back)

Newish round wounds will come detuned for shipping.
