If you're looking at this then you're probably like me and already know the story inside out. Here are some specs: Dark & luscious Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, clay fingerboard & side dot markers, original Fender logo and neck finish. Frets appear original, neck date September 62. I had the bass evaluated for insurance coverage in July 2007. So I took it to Charleys guitar shop in Dallas (famous for Stevie Ray Vaughn's guitars). They valued the bass at $19,000 (see copy of letter). I will include this letter with sale to the buyer.The body feels nice and light weight and very resonant. The body is the earlier string mute type with the ground going to the bridge. The ground wire to the bridge is not original (see photos). Black finish that's well worn as the pictures show. I think the body finish is not original or at least over sprayed, but looks old. Original electronics and hardware. Currently strung with Thomastik flatwound strings. The bass just melts in your hands. It's a sweet bass and selling will probably sting for a long time. Comes with non-original vintage black tolex case.Please have all questions answered BEFORE placing a bid.
