This is as rare as it gets! The first one I have ever seen in real life actually. And in fantastic shape too since it has hardly ever played. Meant for the reading bassplayer this 5-string has the exact same range as a Fender 4-string, so low E to high Eb on the C-string. Brilliant idea to have that range closer together, but not a commercial success at all. Highly collectible and yes: it still sounds phenomenally good! 100% original this beast.
