Serviced and setup here at Cushmic Sounds. D'Addario Half Round 45-100 gauge strings were removed then reinstalled as they were still sounding great. Frets cleaned and polished, fretboard cleaned, intonation and action set, truss rod tested and works as it should, electronics cleaned, tested and working perfectly, all hardware cleaned and secured.
Overall condition is Excellent, especially for a bass of this vintage. There are a few minor bumps throughout, and there is some light worming/buckle wear on the back.
Original frets are in good condition, they are low and flat, but there is still enough meat left to enjoy this exceptional Rickenbacker and playability is superb.
