SOLD 03/2023! This is a bass that has literally disappeared from the face of the earth. They used to be everywhere for under $500 and now they are pricier than lettuce. This one is a one-owner beauty and is in pristine condition. It has the deep butterscotch finish over ash body, not that wimpy piss yellow that the later ones do. It plays as good as it looks and is not too heavy at 10 1/2 lbs. I even have the correct and original Japan tweed hard case for this one!
