About This Listing

TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER!

You know, I am about to hit five years of running this shop and I was beginning to think I had seen it all.....NOPE. Just look at this thing. This is a 1980s Hondo Alien. This was back when Hondo was making all kinds of whacky shapes. This one is quite the player

The bass plays GREAT. The truss rod was fully adjustable, so I was able to do a full set up. The construction is neck-through, so it sounds big too. It has a double stacked J-Bass style pickup and the switch taps the top coil so you can do single or dual coil. The bass weighs around 6 lbs. It is a very peculiar 31" scale. I guess that technically makes it a short scale, but just like slightly longer than standard short scale.

All in all, great bass in great condition. As always, we cleaned it up, polished the finish, flushed the electronics, changed the strings and set the action low and smooth. This guitar has no case or gig bag, but I pack my guitars up tight and insure every package for the full purchase amount.

Got questions? Shoot me a message, I love nerding out with other gearheads!
