If you are looking for a giant, purple V shaped bass I have just what you are looking for. This is Lance bass by Burnside / Guild (Burnside was apparently a name Guild used on some import models in the 1980's). It's an offset V shape bass with one Precision and one Jazz Bass style pickup. It's finished in a wild metallic purple color that will really grab some attention. It appears to be all original and it's in nice shape for a big pointy guitar. There are a couple of finish chips on the body points but they aren't as bad as what you would expect. The hardware is clean and everything works as it should. The neck is straight with comfortable action and nice frets. When I bought the bass it has been dropped and a seam had opened up on the head around the tuners (it appeared to be where the headstock wood sections had been glued, not a crack in the wood). I took it to a local guitar repair shop and they glued it back and it feels rock solid now. You can see a light line in the finish where the separation was but I thought that was better than trying to hide the issue. Take a look at the photos to see what I am describing. The bass comes in the original shaped Burnside gig bag.
