*This bass is now sold outside of BassChat*
I bought it from the US around 2005 but it is as good as new. I paid extra duty to bring it into Ireland, where I was living then. It has never been gigged and has always remained in a hard shell case. I have only noodled with it occasionally and there is no wear on the fretboard that I can notice. The only problem I noticed recently is that the strap locks had rusted. I have replaced them with a pair of brand new Schaller strap-locks (black) that are included in the sale. Also, the original tweed hard shell case is no longer with me as I wasn't a fan of it and instead obtained a SKB Fender case that fits the bass perfectly and is included in the sale.
A whole bunch of original accessories are included - they are completely unused. The manufacturer's details are available at: [url="http://www.fender.com/en-NL/products/search.php?partno=0196208800"]http://www.fender.co...rtno=0196208800[/url]
