SOLS 03/2023! What a great color! But that would mean squat if this were just an average bass. This may be the liveliest Mexi J I have ever played! Not only that, the fretwork is impeccable and the pickups have staggered poles for maximum tonal balance between the strings. It's also in excellent shape with just a bit of scuffing on the back. I would keep this one for myself and that's the highest praise I can give a bass, regardless of price. Includes a nice gig bag.
