PHYSICAL CONDITION: Good - The body has a few scuffs and light scratches on both sides. Two P-Touch labels "GIRLBROTHERS" have been stuck on both sides of the pick-ups. The fret board is also painted and the dot inlays are all different colors. The tip of the D-string tuning peg is broken off on one side but it still holds the sting in place. The gold hardware is oxidized and scratched. A additional strap holder has been mounted on the opposite to accommodate both right and left handed players, this bass invites all to enjoy its majesty. On the back side of the head stock the paint is cracking in 3 places. The neck has 2 small knicks in the finish near the center, but they don't affect its playability. This is a true players bass and goes beyond playable to a all inspiring experience, but because of the cosmetic eyesores its overall condition is good.

WORKING CONDITION: Very Good - Plays great! Nice balance and it has a terrific feel to it. Both pickups and all control knobs are in perfect working order, toggle switch works perfectly as well. Tuners are all in perfect working order as well. Overall working condition is very good.

UNPACKAGED WEIGHT: 14 lbs.
