This bass is in excellent condition, well cared for and moderately played. The frets and fingerboard are in good condition with no visible wear on either. There is some light surface scratching on the body in the area of the G string and between the neck pick-up and the neck above the E string. These surface scratch areas are very light, and do not show in photos. They are visible only in certain angles and lighting conditions. The neck has one blemish about half way up the neck (see photograph) this is a slight surface blemish and does not hamper the playability of the neck. There are two other small blemishes on the head stock, one above the D string tuner stem and one on the end of the head stock. These are also very small and could not be photographed accurately. After evaluation this bass is awarded a condition rating of 8.0 out of 10 on a 10 point “instrument condition” scale
This is fine made in USA Lakland. This bass is punchy, and has good sustain. By utilizing its versatile onboard preamp one is able to obtain standard Fender/ Musicman-“esque” sound qualities, or dial in an even wider range of “tonal shaping.”
The tone is rich with predictable focus and solidity. Its frequency response capabilities are extremely wide and variable making this bass suitable for a wide variety of playing styles, genres, and musical applications.
