This bass was played for years with a well-known French variety artist. It was refinshed and the pickguard was changed. The re-refinishing probably took place a very long time ago given the wear on the back of the instrument. We also have a white pickguard stored in the case. A pot has been changed but the rest of the electronics and the pickups are original. The bass resonates very well unplugged and it is a rather light instrument with a weight of only 4kg. Comes in a modern hard case.
