Product Description
Note that I have added some condition info at the bottom of the description.
Selling companion short scale Series bass guitars. This is the "something old" version and is model 76-523. As with the "newer" bass, the electronics are clean and the bass plays great. However, this one has NOT been refinished and doesn't have the replacement neck. It is the true "vintage" selection.
I have attempted to show the body wear that you'd expect from a 40+ year old bass. I'm rating this "good" but it's really a great piece for its age.
Comes with hard shell case and old-style power supply and newer cable.
Bass will be professionally packed and shipped, insured. The $200 is an estimate. Buyer will pay actual packing and shipping.
Additional condition info:
One of the watchers for this piece contacted the factory to get more info. The following is his report--
*top: Walnutaccent: nonebody: Mahoganyback: Walnutneck: Maple, Purpleheart,
Beechscale: 30.75"fingerboard: Rosewoodinlays: mother of pearloriginally
made for: Rothchild Musical Instrumentsbirthday: October 21, 1976Card notes
it was tuned piccolo originally*
*Sent in for repair twice. First was a "no charge truss rod repair" withno
details offered in April of 1977. There was a "?" next to change tostandard
tuning, which I think was done since in October of 1977 it wassent in for
modifying the nut and bridge for piccolo tuning.My guess on the extra
layers at the body - I've seen this in older dayswhen a body was cut off
the neck for a neck failure of some sort. Rebuildthe body up with extra
laminates. It also happened when wood would tearout on the roundover before
gluing to the neck.The extra laminates were not explained or noted in the
file. But that'snot unusual for the time. We're lucky to have ANY details
to confirm.BTW, even though the color looks off (the whole picure is a tad
to the red(don't think the Rosewood is THAT red)), the grain is a Walnut
giveaway.This polane finish ambered up a lot, and Walnut gets lighter in
color overtime. The outer dark laminates framing the body could even be
Walnut. Ifthis was refinished you would not recognize it.*
