Delberthot Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Is it my imagination or is this really cheap?

BigRedX Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Not in original condition. It's missing some parts and has had others replaced. Also there's no close-up photo of the back of the neck/headstock which is the usual place for serious damage on a Gibson bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a tone choke in a cavity under the bridge. I suspect that has gone, and so that's where the battery is. Not a great place if you need to change the battery in a hurry, but at least it wouldn't involve making holes. This isn't a great price when you consider how much is missing/damaged, and even worse if theres a hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
