Setup and maintenance

  • The original bridge is misaligned with the neck profile, necessitating a custom bridge or conversion to a 4-string setup to improve playability.

Features and functionality

  • The bass features a humbucker bridge pickup, a split-coil middle pickup, and a hum-cancelled single coil neck pickup, all designed by Geoff Gould.

Build quality

  • Late 80's models are identified by a lack of serial numbers and use a combination of mahogany and potential rosewood or cocobola.

    Source

Comparisons

  • The bass is similar to the model played by Phil Lesh from Grateful Dead, adding historical and collectible value.
