Post by: nosimplehighway on January 09, 2018, 05:45:17 PM

I bought it from Willcutt Guitars in Lexington, Ky. I'd like to know about the build and where it's been if you have those records. I'll post pictures tomorrow.
Thanks, Ron

If it matters, I bought this bass from Willcutt Guitars in Lexington, Kentucky. They told me it was a trade in.
