About This Listing

Firstly, this lefty bass is absolutely amazing. I put the condition as “good” because all electronics work and the body is in good shape. There are some dings and gouges. I did my best to picture them. The only issue is a loose input Jack, but it does not cut out signal.

The pickups are warm and clear. Playability is smooth and of course no issues with the neck. It is a heavy bass There are some cosmetic issues and I will run down those as best I can, none of which should stop you from purchasing this incredible instrument. Comes with a hard shell lefty bass case.

Electronics:
Electronics have been well maintained as you can see from the pics. It was protected by foam. The only issue is the Jack is loose. It does not lose connection when I jiggle the cable. I am not a luthier but I was unable to turn the screw on the inside and MAY be stripped. A luthier will need to see it. That is the ONLY electronics issue I could find with the guitar. Pots are clean and do not crackle

Cosmetics:
This guitar has seen some shit but that’s what gives it character, right?
- we’ve actually replaced the knobs and I will update pics
- the pickup borders were cracked and broken. They can be glued and we will include them but they’re not on the guitar.
- frets are in great shape but they could use a thorough cleaning. We used a buffer on it so they’re a lot cleaner than they were.
-Dings and chips in the body are mostly on the back of the guitar. There is a crack repair on the front side of the guitar under the tone knob. It’s not very noticeable. There is a ding in the wood in the neck.
- the aluminum nut would allow restringing the bass right-handed.
- There is a strap hole where someone definitely played the bass right-handed at some point.
