This vintage bass plays and sounds great! The neck is straight and the frets are in overall good condition. The electronics work properly and quietly. Cosmetically its in good shape considering the age of the instrument . It has dings scratches and scuffs throughout as well as hardware tarnish as seen in the photos. Just what you would expect to see on a vintage instrument of this age and nothing that affects the playability of this instrument. The worst of it is a chip in the edge of the headstock and missing binding as seen in photo#5. Please ask any questions that you may have prior to the purchase of this instrument
