Douglas 5 String Neck Thru Bass Guitar Model WPB955T


I bought this bass guitar from Rondo Music in 2008 and played it for less than an hour. Still has the original strings on it and is in pristine as new condition. I bought it to do some recording, but I never got around to it, so it has sat for several months in my closet. I purchased a brand new Fender ($74 new) Extra Deluxe style gig bag for her. This bag is the most padded gig bag i've ever seen. This is a killer sounding and playing bass, and features: Ash Body w/Walnut Runners, Maple neck, Active EQ, Brass Nut, Saturn Inlays, Fantastic Hardware and pickups (BTW are Active and require a battery change every now and then) Neck Thru for incredible sustain, Fender Gig Bag and more. The red paint on the ASH body is translucent, so you can see the woodgrain, which is outstanding. Plastic still on the back electronics plate. Missing from when I recieved it, is 2 small bottom screws that hold on the truss rod cover. This bass rocks and sounds awesome.
