THIN FOR A BASS BUT IT IS SHORT SCALE STURDY THOUGH LASTED WELL AROUND 45 YEARS! AND STILL CAN TAKE A BEASTING. EVEN THOUGH THE HARDWARE IS SIMPLE IT STAYS IN TUNE , COULD PROBABLY DO A GIG.
I JUST LEARN BASS ON IT AS ITS EASY TO PLAY.
Customer Support

No Opinion
COMPANY MMM I MIGHT TRY THE BBC ANTIQES ROADSHOW OR CHRISTIES AUCTION HOUSE, HARDLY ANY RESULTS ON THE NET.
JAPANESE COMPANY DONT MAKE THEM ANYMORE AND WOOLCO/WOOLWORTHS ARE OWNED BY A DIFFRENT CHAIN NOW..
