GUYATONE EB-5 VINTAGE MIJ SHORT-SCALE BASS in Sunburst Finish
Quality-build, Japanese short-scale bass - late 60s / early 70s.
I have been a great fan of these vintage Guyatones for years. The quality of the build, finish and especially the pickups really sets them apart.
At first glance it says 'Precision' but on closer inspection it has a quality and sound very much all of its own.
It has a Gibson-length neck (30"/77cm) with a nice slim profile and a comfortable 38mm nut.
The single pickup has a really pleasing bottom end to it. Round and deep without being overly boomy.
Body and neck in good shape with no repairs, damage or cracks. Some minor blemishes and touch-ins to the head/body finish but nothing to affect playability. You can see the traces of where the (long-gone) bridge cover would have sat on the body.
Original 3-ply guard with a really cool tortoiseshell finish.
Original hardware, pickup & controls.
Overall this is in really nice vintage condition. A cool looking, playing and sounding all-original short-scale vintage bass from the golden era of Japanese guitars.

A Note On Shipping:
We want you to be fully satisfied with everything - from the item itself (naturally!) through the shipping, packaging, communication etc.
Of course there is nothing we can do about customs duty, local taxes etc at your end. But we can keep the overall price as competitive as is decently possible.
The Japan post office service (EMS) is reliable and efficient but shipping costs from Japan to Europe or the states are unavoidably expensive.
For this reason none of the shipping costs we quote reflect the actual price we have to pay. We are more than willing to take a hit on that to make things as attractive for you as possible.

Vintage Instruments & Equipment
Shipping by air plus climatic changes can affect how a guitar is set up - no matter how well it is packed. Consequently there is no guarantee that an instrument arrives with exactly the same set up as stated. After a period of acclimatisation, you may still need to make any adjustments at your own expense.
