The bass player’s function, along with the drums, is to be the engine that drives the car… everything else is merely colours.

Beautiful burl. Wish a bit more information was provided in the text regarding condition. Also, can't figure out what is deluxe about the neck. Isn't that a standard Series 1 neck sandwich

On a 4 string Series I the neck is normally 5 piece (3 maple, 2 purpleheart) whereas the "deluxe" neck is the 7 piece (4 and 3) you normally find on Series II. So it's not a "deluxe" as concerns the neck, but there are other upgrades (top and back in burl maple, chrome plating ...).

The seller is our Distributor is Korea, and is a well-trusted shop. I've heard from many customers that they also do extremely good setups.
