When I bought this guitar the original owner told me this was a 1959 model. This is an original Mosrite The Ventures Electric Bass Guitar it is working and the original owner told me he was playing gigs up until a year ago. The condition is as follows- it shows a lot of wear and is missing a metal plate that goes over the bridge. I took lots of pictures please view them. It also comes with its original hard case and that is also in rough condition again see pictures. Please check my other auction for a Vintage Micro-Frets Electric Bass Guitar.
