I got the bass and it's in pretty good shape for a 1965. A few hairline cracks in the poly, typical for something like this. The electronics did nothing but hum and I found a broken wire on the jack. I'll solder that tonight and see what's up with that.
The big surprise? It's a 24.5" scale!!!!!! I assumed it was a 30" scale like other Mosrites I've seen. Naturally, the neck is small and really easy to navigate. I don't mind the small frets, it plays just fine for me. I've posted a note in the Mosrite forum to try and learn more about these super short scale models. Can't wait to hook it up and see how it sounds. Man, this is really weird! More on this tomorrow.
