Seller's description

Reverty Used Guitars Japan — every instrument inspected, set up, and played before listing. 1978 Greco GOB1200 "Speed Way" Neck-Through Bass - Made in Japan (Fujigen) This is a 1978 Greco GOB1200, the top model of Greco's original GOB bass line-up. Introduced in 1977 as part of Greco's own-design GO series, the Speed Way basses moved away from the copy models of the era and offered a modern neck-through design built at the Fujigen factory in Matsumoto, Japan. The headstock back carries the factory model plate ("Guitar revolution from Greco in 1977 / GOB-1200") and the serial number F788126, which dates this bass to June 1978 under Greco's month-letter serial system. The multi-ply striped neck runs all the way through the body. The wings are a sandwich of Sen (Japanese ash) top and back over a lighter core. Gold-tone hardware and a natural finish complete the look, and the bass has plenty of vintage mojo. == SPECIFICATIONS == - Model: Greco GOB1200 (Speed Way) - Year: 1978 (serial F788126) - Country of Origin: Japan (Fujigen) - Color: Natural - Construction: Neck-through-body - Body: Sen (Japanese ash) / Maple / Sen sandwich wings - Scale: 34" (long scale) - Pickups: Two humbuckers - Controls: 5 knobs - Pickup selector: 3-way - Bridge: Adjustable gold-tone bridge with individual string tension adjusters - Tuners: Open-gear bass tuners (gold-tone) - Nut width: 41 mm - Weight: 5.4 kg (11.9 lbs), measured == CONDITION == Overall: Good - Body: Scratches and honest playwear consistent with age - Neck: Good condition; truss rod has plenty of adjustment remaining - Frets: Approximately 60-70% remaining - Nut: Shows wear (no effect on playability) - Hardware: Rust on the tuners and bridge (vintage patina) - Electronics: Working, but the pots are scratchy (crackle when turned) - Modifications: None - No odors A 47-year-old instrument with its age showing.
