Description
What makes this bass special: A cool Japanese import from the late '60s with wonderful tone & playability. The flame figuring in the body looks gorgeous set against the 3-tone sunburst finish. The Hofner-looking "staple" pickups sound great & deliver a warm, rich, punchy tone. The bass has been professionally set up by our own tech & is ready to play straight out of the case.
Cosmetic Condition: Really nice shape for being 50 years old. There are various minor nicks, dents & dings; along with surface scratches & some very mild checking. Overall the bass has a wonderful vintage vibe to it with a beautiful patina.
Neck: Nicely rounded maple neck with cream binding & black side-dots. Rosewood fingerboard with pearloid block inlays. 4-ply black headstock overlay with raised Univox Custom logo. Closed-back chrome tuners are in good working condition. 1 9/16" nut width; 30 1/2" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.
Body: Multi-bound, hollow maple body with dual F-holes. Trapeze tailpiece & four-saddle adjustable bridge on a rosewood base. 4-ply black pickguard with missing finger-rest. Bass weighs 7 lbs 7.5 oz.
