  • Description: This candy apple red 1966 Mosrite Ventures bass is all original. Once Semie Moseley teamed with the Ventures to build the Venture bass, which was featured on album covers, it became collectible. Features include a carved body, a 4 piece maple neck with rosewood bound fingerboard and tiny dot inlays, and an "M" crown headstock. The reverse curvy double cutaway design is distinct. The hardware and electronics include one slanted single coil pickup, a chrome string cover and nut, chrome top hat volume and tone knobs, Kluson tuners, and a rosewood tailpiece. The date on the body says Oct 19 1965 and the date on the neck says Feb 18 1966. The width of the nut is 1 1/2" and the neck scale is 30 1/2". There are a few small dents and some horizontal checking on the body. This is a nice playing bass.
