On Apr-29-11 at 06:32:57 PDT, seller added the following information:Update to answer quite a few questions and added 4 outdoor, sunshine pictures.
The bass was made in 2007 and I'm the third owner. The truss rod functionality is ultra-smooth (yes, I said ultra-smooth). Turns both clockwise and counter clockwise with ease.
This bass is used but has been very well cared for, especially considering the 'soft' tung-oil finish. With that being said, do NOT expect a cosmetically NEW instrument, especially considering that it will probably sell for $500 less. If I had to rank it by looks, I'd say a 9/10. Others who have seen it and played it, thought it was brand new; so goes the ambiguity of instrument condition ranking.
I want you to be happy and always try to represent the things that I sell super honestly. Also remember that I have a return policy within 3 days if it not received as described or if there are any problems with the instrument itself.
