Beautiful all original 1980 Gibson RD Artist in natural maple finish. This bass is in excellent condition for its age with a huge sound provided through the Moog electronics with built in compression/expansion, bright and neutral modes.


Serial number is 81410076, maple neck with three way pick up selector which gets an excellent mix of bright and deeper tones. Two humbucking pick ups, double cutaway body, 34.5inch scale and 20 frets with black dot inlays.


Bass made in the Kalamazoo Plant, MI USA. Headstock shows no cracks or repairs and whole bass has minor shows of wear. Frets in great condition with loads of wear left.


Two minor blemishes photographed for info and original hard case albeit missing the handle.
