We present an all original and 100 % complete Gibson Melody Maker Bass – Pelham Blue. Made in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

This stunning Gibson solid-body bass is in very good+ condition with minor dings and other cosmetic wear. No breaks or any repairs.! The bass is in custom color Pelham Blue, which has turned slightly more green over the years, with beautiful finish checkings.

It features a lightweight mahogany body and neck with dark rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays. The original frets still has a lot of life left in them.
