What a player! This short-scale monster is a studio secret weapon. This bass plays superb up and down the neck. Thomastik-Infield flat wound strings for incredible feel and that funky Motown sound. Upgraded with a McNelly Musicmaster pickup installed… original pickup included. I want to keep it, but I have too many bass guitars! Ask questions if you like. Original hard shell case included- one of the original latches is broken but a working replacement latch has been installed (see pics).
