The original tuners are fully operational and rotate with no issue. The nut likely needs replacing. The headstock-side of the fretboard (after the zero fret) has some normal ... more

Put together by Teisco in the 'lawsuit' era Far East, this rare bass is a charming thing. It features a nifty 30" scale length that complements the satisfyingly hefty feel of the thing. The neck pickup is pleasingly punchy too but the other is intermittent so will need some attention. The neck is straight and slim.
