The bass has been fully set up and shielded (dead silent) professionally and will come with some new Dunlop Straplok fitted on the bass and the original strap buttons (complete Schaller-Sadowsky Strap Locks delivered too).

What you see is what you get!

 

 

Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is as new.

Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus left and right shoulders injury (it's really painful to reach the tuners), I'm selling all the basses I'm not using like this one as well as some stuff I don't use.

 

 

I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale.

 

 

Don't hesitate to ask for more, but, please, before asking read my ad first as the answer is certainly already in it!
