No need to ask about what condition this bass is in -- as noted here, it is In like new, MINT CONDITION. Great Christmas gift for the "guitar obsessed!" This beautiful "tobacco burst" bass comes with a well-padded Ventura Gig bag. The shorter scale makes it comfortable, lighter weight, easy to play and perfect for saving space when on the road.
