Silver Bend is fortunate to have acquired the estate of a reputable collector who invested in innovation and craftsmanship. This bass is one of many case queens this original owner rarely played. Some never left their case. We are proud to offer them to you.

Please note, we do not dissemble products in mint condition. However, we will happily do so upon request of the buyer, after their offer is accepted. This helps mitigate any risks for both parties.

Thank you for understanding!
