Correction: I am the third owner of this bass (just reviewed the communication with previous seller.)

One of the interested buyers wanted detailed photos of the following:

1. Wear on the bridge (the B and E string saddles are more worn out than the rest)
2. Wear on the nut
3. Wear on the frets (the marks from the strings could be cleaned up with a metal polisher)
4. Allowance in the truss rod (I have not adjusted the truss rod and the neck has been straight as long as I've had the bass)

I've taken photos of these parts and added it to the album at: [url="https://plus.google.com/photos/100212465725187526301/albums/6024178016332525057?authkey=CLDz06mxqsbbCA"]https://plus.google....=CLDz06mxqsbbCA[/url]

In addition, the headstock veneer has a slight crack (not in the wood but in the glue) on the top side (with the three tuning pegs). I've also tried to capture this in the photos.
There is some wear on the tuning pegs as well where there is contact between the string and the peg.
