  • Description: Price drop and priced to move! Check the comps, this bass is a bargain!WOW this bass is a find! I have been working on getting this bass for months. This is a 1 OWNER bass from 1959 and I'm sure I can put the new lucky owner in touch with the prior owner. This bass is a consignment. This is not an under the bed bass. This bass is 99% orig (see details). It was gigged from day 1 till recently and the orig owner loved and respected this bass. JD Lewis of Warrior loves this bass so much, he personally dressed the frets and set the bass up. These guys do not do repair work but he INSISTED. Bass is in 7.2 condition. The case - when I asked about the orig case, I was told it was worn out in the 60s! The bass came with a high quality bag but we will give you the option of a bag or a quality case (non orig) at no charge. The bass just arrived from Warrior and HOLY SMOKE does she play and sound NUTS! The physical bass itself is 99% original other than a replaced ground wire to the jack and a newer nut. The frets are original. 8.8lbs, 39xxx serial, 9 in the pickup cavity and as expected no pencil date on neck - the earliest ones were omitted. pots, cap and etc are all orig with a paper cap, 137847 pots (this is when they used 1 digit, not 2 for the year. The slab neck is superb. The guard has minor shrinkage at the top and 2 small washers assist holding the top edges of the guard down. This is a truely great bass!
