Sweet Dreams are made of these... Talk about MOJO in all the right places. Here is a killer 1965 Mosrite "The Ventures" Bass that is dripping with swag and chocked full of sweet vintage tone. Don't let the old school looks fool you, she has a big powerful sound with plenty of thump and bottom end. She is hot to trot and professionally set and dialed in by the world famous LAYS Guitar Shop in Akron Ohio. The bass is properly balanced and plays smoothly. It has a wild and highly desirable Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard that just adds to the vibe. The frets are dressed, level and polished and have plenty of life left. The are some obvious and cool looking nicks from being rocked on the road and weather checking everywhere. I would say it is in a a light relic condition with no big or nasty dents or scratches that take away from this old girls beauty. She is an awesome rocking machine with some honest play-wear that adds the charm.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s

We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives significantly not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
