LiamD Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) [size=5][b]£1200 ONO[/b][/size] as I could do with putting money towards a car quite urgently. So I bought this from Andy Baxter last year but I've ended up playing my 70's precision more and this is sat not getting the love it deserves. [url="http://s608.photobucket.com/user/Liam_Lime/media/1978%20Gibson%20RD%20Artist/1337293068-IMG_8272.jpg.html"][/url] It's quite a clean and 100% original bass, everything including the Moog electronics works as it should and there are no scratchy pots or switches. The case shown is the original Gibson case which has [b]now had a period correct handle fitted[/b] so it can be used as it was intended. It's just had a good set up and fret dress and is now strung through the body, it plays like a dream! The bass shows good honest play wear. Clean overall with some minor buckle rash and general wear to the finish around the edges. The neck shows a small amount of wear one side of the headstock just above the nut. (presumably from being kept on a wall hanger?) The neck is straight and the action set up nice and low. The frets are in good shape with only minimal fretwear and the truss rod is fully functioning. The fretboard itself shows a little wear up around frets 1-5. The headstock has no cracks/repairs. The original Moog circuitry and pots are untouched. Comes in the original hard case. Maple set neck and body, custom designed active electronics with built in compression / expansion, bight and neutral modes. 3 way pickup selector. 34 1/2 inch scale. Perloid dot inlays and headstock motif. This bass is active with no passive mode. Electronics designed by Moog. Gibson humbucker pickups. Comes in the original hard case. Fully set up by my technician.
