Condition Report:The bass is in remarkable "Very Good" vintage condition, exceptionally well-preserved for over 40 years. It shows an honest and beautiful patina that only time can create. The neck is straight, the frets have plenty of life, and the structural integrity is perfect.Electronic Notes:
The complex Neal Moser circuit is fully functional in both active and passive modes. Being a 40-year-old original survivor, there is a minor intermittent contact in one of the mini-switches and occasional light static in a potentiometer due to age-related wear. These are typical, minor issues for vintage electronics and can be easily addressed with professional cleaning or a simple component service. The core tone and power of the active preamp remain incredible.What’s Included:
