This bass is in great condition, and has the usual honest play wear, you'd expect from a 41-year old working guitar.. some dings on the perimeter, and a weird scratch near the bridge pickup, also some buckle swirling on the back that does NOT go thru the finish. This bass is 100% original, and has ...all the stuff that Ricky put on it, when it left the factory. Has the pickup cover installed and pickguard is complete and not cracked. Includes nice non-original hard case. Action is great, neck is fantastic, (I've been asked about the neck, and to me it seems it's a "soft-C, and very similar to a modern P-Bass, but I'm certainly no expert, on this... I just play 'em, and it was always very comfortable to play, all night long) and I don't have a scale to do accurate weighing, but according to my bathroom scale its about 8 pounds. Rick's date decoder shows it was made August 1978
… All in all, this is a fantastic bass, that not only looks great, plays great, and sounds great, but is certainly a head-turner and conversation starter at shows!!
