This bass has been professionally played and well maintained.
There are several very minor cosmetic flaws. A few can be seen in some of the photos, most of them are small enough to not show up in photos.
Playability is flawless and very smile-inducing. Once you experience the magic of one of Vinny's neck carves, it's hard to settle for anything else.
