[Sarlscharisma]

1973 Vintage Guild - JS II Electric Bass Guitar - Walnut Brown w/ Gig Bag.  I imported this from the USA about 6 months ago.

All Original!

The JS bass models were the direct descendent of the . like the Jetstar, it had a mahogany body, three-piece mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, 21 frets, Chesterfield and Guild inlays and Hagstrom bridge and Guild humbucker pickups. 

This bass is in very good condition and sounds fantastic.
Fast thin neck with a 30.5 inch scale.

I also have some Curtis Novak pickups for sale on BC that are a perfect match for this bass.  I did try these pickups but the bass isn't for me so returned it to stock.
