Hello, I bought this bass in the early 1990s from East Coast Music Mall in Danbury, Ct. Can you tell me what history you have on it. I stoped playing in 1996 and I am ready to start playing again. Even though I wasnt playing I still couldnt resist pulling it out every now and then to admire its beauty and for some routine maintenance.
 
regards, mark

Hi Mark,
 
It will be a couple of days more for your request. There is a large, heavy carton on the floor in front of the cabinet with your file in it. I need to get that moved, then I'll let you know what I find out.  
 
Thanks for your patience.

Hi Mark,
 
Yay! With access to the cabinet, I could look up the details you requested:

The original owner of this bass was located in NY. We haven't heard about any repairs or other reports from this bass since it was purchased in November of 1983.
