Strangely the ONLY thing in the file is a note that says "it's Vermilion" and the file tab says "FS811974 LSB2nd"
in 2019, Gruhn Guitars bough some replacement parts for this bass:
-bridge
-tailpiece
-sustain block
Mary filled in some of the details then since the original record was, ahem, scant.
top: Vermilion
neck: Maple and Purpleheart
scale: 34" long
fingerboard: Ebony
inlays: Mother of pearl
controls: Series I
fingerboard dimensions were confirmed to be the classic taper, 1.75 x 2.25, since we were making new hardware for it.
There is nothing indicating what made this bass a factory second.
