In good overall condition. Some marks to the body but minor and hard to show in photos. Bass looks almost black throughout but in-light photos (at end) show the translucent brown finish. The bridge pickup has suffered some significant chrome-loss with string lines showing and wearing down toward the brass; but both pickups (and electronics) work fine and the bass has a low, even action which is easily adjusted with the split bridge. There's also some 'wear' / finish loss to the gold hardware. Would benefit from some new strings - ideally short-scale (30") but it does accept std. scale strings OK (light guage). These early(ier) models seem to available mainly from Japan with somewhat high asking prices.
