It's been set up in our workshop with a low action and plays beautifully. The frets are in great condition with very little wear and have been dressed in our workshop. There are only minor and superficial signs of wear, with light scuffs around the body and headstock edges and a couple of very small dings on the back of the neck. Overall superb condition. The case has some damage to one corner of the lid but we will attempt to fix this before any sale. 

Mahogany body, Koa facings ( body & headstock) neck-through-body design with five-piece maple/purple heart neck, unbound rosewood fretboard, oval inlays, and twin heel-adjust truss rods. Original electronics, with neck and bridge pickup volume controls, neck and bridge tone controls with 3-way Q switches, middle position dummy coil, four-way rotary pickup selector switch (with mute position), 5-pin DIN power and stereo audio connector, and 1/4" mono output. The bass includes the offboard DS-5 power supply and preamp, enabling stereo operation. The back of the bass has four small trim pots to control gain and bass for both pickups.
