All pickups and pots are period-correct and functioning perfectly.• Neck & Playability: The neck is in excellent condition with no issues. The truss rod is fully functional with plenty of room to adjust in both directions.• Frets: Original frets are preserved.

It’s an instrument that proves the saying: "A great P-bass doesn't even need new strings to sound amazing."Cosmetics:In excellent vintage condition.
