Weight: 9lbs 13oz. Lighter than your average Kramer Aluminum Neck bass. Compare the 450b at 10.9oz.

Techinical note: This bass plays very well with low to medium-low action. The neck is straight and true and does not have a truss rod. Hardware and electronics function correctly as tested by a professional luthier. Medium frets with average wear for it's age.

Case is in fairly good condition considering the age and how much i'm sure it's been moved around from place to place. There is some damage to the case as seen in the picture. Not the best condition for this type of case but overall it functions as it should *sorry, no key for the locks :c

The bass itself is in excellent condition. There is some very mild damage to the clear coat finish, as seen in the pictures. There is a small, mild crack in the finish on the underside of the body near the input jack. It doesn't appear to be deeper than the top layer of the polyurethane.

The frets have usual wear for a bass of this age. The strings are the same that were on it when I purchased it, still sound good but should probably be replaced to get the full resonance and beauty out of this bass. Fretboard itself has some minor wear as seen in the pictures but overall in very good condition. Behind the fretboard on the neck, there is a light ''groove'' from playing, I assume. It's very mild and hard to see. It feels like a thumb print almost.

Controls all work perfectly and I've had it recently serviced by a professional luthier to resolder a loose connection that was causing some very minor issues with connection.
