This bass is certainly not physically perfect BUT the electronics, sound and intonation are fantastic, with no crackles or other noise.
The sound is huge, and kind of woody, but you can get aggressive and modern with the mid-boost. I actually really like the sound of this bass, none of my other Jazz basses sound like this.

The bass looks all original, I had to replace a missing string tree. The strings are very old, no idea what brand they are. I bought this late summer of 2011 and have not had the time to do any work on it, so you will be getting in in the same condition that I received it in, only cleaner.

I have attempted to photograph the cosmetic issues, including the repaired (not by me!) crack at the base of the headstock. The repair is solid, nothing is moving and it doesn't effect the sound. The electronics compartment cover is original, but ill fitting; but it does its job.

The knobs really need a proper cleaning.

*keep in mind this bass is 22 years old. It is clearly used and not perfect.
However, the bass is in excellent playing condition with excellent sound.
I have done my best to describe it within the scope of my knowledge.
Please ask questions before bidding, as there will be no returns accepted.
