Condition & Features:

Cosmetic Wear: This bass shows some light scratches, dings, and general wear throughout, with noticeable wear on the back. Additionally, two of the string-through holes are missing the ferrules, and there is wear around one of these holes. Overall, I would rate its condition 7.5/10. These imperfections only add to the vintage character of this bass.
