Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
What's even more incredible than this bass waltzing into our shop, is how incredibly well kept it is! You'd never believe it was manufactured over 50 years ago. And after a fret dress and setup by our incredible in-house luthier, it plays like it's hot off the assembly line! The all mahogany assembly keeps the tone warm, and full, with a pronounced mid-section, while the bass pickup designed in part by Seth Lover captures it all in stunning detail. You aren't likely to see another one of these, let alone in this condition! So call in today to talk to one of our sales specialists about bringing this beauty home!
