Hello,I owned this bass. I bought it new 1976 in Breda (netherlands) at the musicshop SOL. Price was about fl 900,-. Fender basses had the same price at that time but I wanted to try something new. I have playing the bass till this year. I sold it may 2013.I was not the type that was very careful. During tours and concerts I put the bass on fire and throw it in the swimming pool. Never used a flight-case or bag That explains the damage on the body. The bass was always operating as a bass should do.I never changed the strings. Only when they broke. I think 2 or 3 times in the lifetime of the bass. The pickup selector does not work since about 3 years. I did not need to fix it because the sound was ok.
During tours and concerts I put the bass on fire and throw it in the swimming pool. ...I sold the bass because I needed a 5 string. (big band melodies mostly in Eb)
