  • Description: Sunburst G-3’s are fairly rare, but EBONY FINGERBOARD G-3’s are rarer still. This is only the second I’ve ever had with the ebony board. The bass has a few nicks and dings, but it’s pretty clean. The pickups are all date stamped, but the stamps are hard to read. I think I see 78's and 79's in those stamps. The pots date 1978. I’m guessing that this was one of the last ones made and they used older parts. The headstock/neck joint is quite pronounced. There’s no crack or separation, but you can feel it. Frets and board are in great shape. It's really more of a two tone than a 3-tone burst. The pics of the back of the body represent the color most accurately. A cool, rare, and very nice bass.
