【Condition】
This bass is fully functional.
All electronics operate properly with no scratchy pots, no signal loss, and stable output.
The neck shows mild forward relief, consistent with natural aging of vintage-style instruments.
It does not feel like a modern low-action setup, and the playing feel has some character.
However, once accustomed, the bass plays consistently and delivers excellent tone and stability.
The truss rod has never been adjusted during my ownership, and the instrument has remained playable throughout this period.
Cosmetic condition shows honest play wear appropriate for its age, including:
A dent near the 14th fret
Strap button relocated after the original screw hole loosened
Various small dings, finish wear, and natural aging
This is not a relic or artificially aged instrument.
All wear is the result of genuine use over time.
【Ownership History】
I purchased this bass used in the late 1990s from a professional music store associated with a rehearsal studio, upon recommendation by the shop manager.
It has been carefully used and stored for many years.
【Important Notes for International Buyers】
The neck relief and overall feel reflect authentic vintage-style characteristics, not modern specifications.
This instrument is recommended for players and collectors who appreciate traditional vintage feel and tone rather than contemporary low-action setups.

Due to the value and nature of this instrument, no returns or refunds will be accepted for subjective reasons.
Please review all photos and descriptions carefully and bid only if you understand and accept the characteristics of vintage instruments.
Local pickup in Japan is possible by arrangement.
