A fantastic player grade vintage bass! This '80s "The Grabber" survived a body break on the lower treble side with a wood splice and refinish; it has also been rewired with newer pots/cap and a vintage (non-original) tar sealed pickup. It sounds huge and full with tons of bite, the previously sliding pickup now affixed to the body in one position, much like a precision bass. The bridge was replaced with a "Badass Bass II" and it has a recent re-fret that gives it very comfortable playability.

Includes a gig-bag.
