I bought this beautiful bass on Basschat around 10 years ago. The previous owner had distressed the bass which I thought looked authentic and well done.
I also have Fender Pino bass and this AV bass is just not getting any use anymore hence it now is up for sale on here!
It came with the original gold scratchplate but as you'll see in the attached photos I sometimes swapped it to a tortoise scratchplate which I will include.
***** UPDATE *****
I HAVE FOUND THE ORIGINAL FENDER HARDCASE!
