You are looking at a 1978 Gibson RD Artist bass guitar in Natural finish, all original except toggle switch caps, which have been replaced with identical new caps. Original hard-shell case will be included as well. This bass is in very good condition. There is some buckle rash on the back and two small screw holes left where the previous owner attached a thumb rest (now removed). The neck is straight and the action is set low, which allows for a very enjoyable playing experience. The neck is worn to the perfect extent, and is very comfortable to play. The frets are excellent and the truss rod is fully functioning. The original Moog circuitry and pots all function perfectly. The dual Gibson Humbucker pickups both function perfectly. Custom designed by Bob Moog, this bass features active electronics with built in compression/expansion, bright/neutral modes, a three way pickup selector, and is active with no passive mode.
At 34 1/2 inch scale, this bass weighs in at 11 lbs. Made at the Kalamazoo Plant, USA on August 10, 1978. Production number 122. Serial number 72228122.  

This bass is a blast to play and has five deuces in the serial number!
