Funky European made vintage bass!

This is an interesting bass, but very simple to control. There are 4 settings in total, neck pickup with no tone engaged, neck pickup with tone engaged, bridge pickup with no tone engaged, and bridge pickup with tone engaged. I personally found the bridge pickup with no tone engaged to be my favorite setting as the sound was the highest output and had the most balanced high to low range. It has a slim neck and small nut width, as many vintage Hagstrom do. And how could I forget?! The coolest half circle, fader style, volume control right beneath your G string, between the two pickups. A lot of Hagstrom instruments may feel weird but in my opinion, I think that they all need a professional set up to really shine.

Not only was this guitar straight out of Jeff Tweedy's collection, it's also super rare! Hagstrom only made 1100 of these altogether. This model was touted as their flagship bass model during this era. Minor scratches and knicks from years of wear but dang, it's 53 years old. You'd have minor scratches and knicks too! All electrics work great. This has been worked on and well maintained. There's some minor scratch in the volume control slider that went away after some routine sliding. Super easy to control while playing. The pushbutton pickup and tone switches work well. There are two for the pickups and two for bright or deep tone. The action is wonderfully low and the neck is straight and is extremely easy to play. Currently set up with flatwounds.
