After stripping it I found a wonderful body, with both horizontal and vertical figuring, underneath the thick skin finish!! It has substantial growl and sustain. Like most late ’70s Fender basses its on the heavy side so I mostly use it for session work rather than live gigs. In the JPEG it has a Ken SMith bridge but I’ve since gone back to a Fender bridge because it was sustaining too long at the expense of growl.
