Description
Cosmetic Condition: A modified vintage Gibson classic with a super cool vibe & a killer sound! This is a great opportunity to own a player's grade bass at an affordable price. An oval hole has been cut into the back of the body, allowing easy access to the electronics. A vintage Pat No mini humbucker was added in the bridge position, giving the bass some extra tonal depth. The original tuners have been replaced with more modern Gibsons. There are various nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches, weather checking & play wear. Overall the bass has a great look to it with a gorgeous patina. It has been professionally set up by us & sounds amazing!
Neck: Nicely rounded, semi-chunky mahogany neck with cream micro-dots. Beautiful dark rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays. Original frets are in great shape with hardly any wear. Unoriginal chrome Gibson tuners in perfect working condition. 1 1/2" nut width; 30 1/2" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.
Body: Double-bound, semi-hollow maple body in a sweet cherry finish with dual F-holes. Chrome, top-loading bridge works great. Bridge cover & pickguard are missing. The top was routed for the unoriginal bridge pickup. Bass weighs 8 lbs 6.5 oz.
Pickups: Original neck humbucker with an unoriginal vintage Gibson Pat No mini humbucker in the bridge position. Both pickups sound fantastic with good, strong outputs & they compliment each other well. Master volume & tone controls with unoriginal, but vintage, gold "top hat" knobs - pots date to '65. 3-way toggle switch & "choke" button function properly & all electronics are in perfect working condition.
Case: Original hardshell case included - a bit rough & the back end is somewhat loose, but the case serves its purpose well.
