Weight: 9 lbs 9 oz
Cosmetic Condition: This vintage Fender P-bass shows signs of age and use on the glossy finish, with checking, chips, and dings throughout. The finish has yellowed over time, and the back and sides of the body have some heavier wear. There is a small cigarette burn on the lower corner of the headstock.

Tech Notes: The bass plays well with low action, and the frets show mild play wear. The neck stamp is difficult to read, however it appears to date to 1974. The neck plate serial number would normally date the instrument to 1971, however the natural finish, neck stamp, and thumb rest location on the body are consistent with 1974.
Case Details: Original Hardshell Case
