Custom Ovation Magnum I Bass Serial #1 1974 Mahogany

1974 Ovation Magnum 1 bass with original case SERIAL #B00001 - - the FIRST off the assembly line (verified by the factory).  I dare say it is in mint condition (super collector's grade) except for three very small nicks (one on the top near the bottom edge, and one on each side).  Everything on this bass is functioning as if it were new.  It  has both mono and stereo inputs and has passive electronics (no batteries).  It has been part of my personal collection and non-played since the early 80s and judging by the complete lack of fret wear, most likely non-played before that.  I am now selling it to cover some medical bills.  Be the first on your block to own a serial #1 American-made piece of guitar history.  $7000 plus $70 insured shipping to continental U.S.  (If this were Fender bass serial #1 it would be worth a gazillion dollars.)
