| 1983 | $380 | good | Richard | At the time I was only a beginner, didn't think it anything special. As my technique grew, and I started playing gigs realised what an awesome instrument this is. Always stays in tune, and the EQ lets you really push it. Would play this in preference to my P bass special, far more versatile. |
