This bass has just been purchased by me. I got a VERY significant discount by the shopkeepers. I will post comparison videos with my 1980 Series 1 as soon as I have time 😆
Initial impressions are that I feel there is more mids than my 80’s Series 1 and the filter sweep feels more aggressive. The action they have lowered it to a point where it feels more like my Series. The bass is actually in worse condition than in the picture. The pickup selector is bent (still works), the hum canceller is not flush with the body and a bit slanted, the bridge pickup has a little crack in it (not too large), the brass hardware is oxidized, the trim pots are very difficult to adjust because the plastic tuning pegs (?) are a but brittle and missing some edges for the screwdriver and one of the back plate screws is not original. I tested the hum canceller and it does cancel the hum.
I eventually bit the bullet and bought it because the price was too good 😆
I want to use this bass on tour as I am afraid to use my Series 1 for touring now 😆
