There were approximately 200 Zorko baby basses made before Ampeg bought the company in 1959, and this is one of them. I found it in a small shop about 15 years ago, incomplete. The original color was sunburst, and what you see on the front of this is actually the finished as it has naturally peeled off. The back shows the original color more completely. This bass was restored by Steve Azola, who made the bridges and tail piece setup exactly as they were originally. It is fitted with on...e of his piezo pickups on the bridge. The original Zorko pickup is there , completely intact also. Bass sounds great and the neck feels super smooth. Buyer to pay all shipping from Los Angeles.
