There's something undeniably cool about a vintage Japanese SG-style bass, and this Greco is no exception.

Built during the golden era of Japanese guitar manufacturing, this bass captures the look, feel, and attitude of the classic double-cutaway design while delivering the quality craftsmanship that made Greco one of the most respected names to come out of Japan.

The lightweight body and comfortable neck make this an incredibly easy bass to play, whether you're tracking in the studio, rehearsing, or playing live. The dual humbucking pickup configuration offers a wide range of tones, from warm vintage thump to aggressive rock growl, all controlled through independent volume and tone controls.

This bass has just been cleaned, restrung, and professionally set up. It plays well up and down the neck and is ready for its next owner.

Cosmetically, this bass shows plenty of honest playwear throughout, giving it the broken-in character that many vintage enthusiasts actively seek out. There are scratches, dings, finish wear, and signs of use throughout the instrument consistent with decades of playing. The previous owner also applied several stickers to the body, which remain installed. The switch tip is missing, though the switch itself remains functional.

A great opportunity to pick up a vintage Japanese-made Greco bass with tons of mojo and stage presence.
