This is a beauty as you can clearly see. Untouched solder, all original except for the bridge obviously. It has the bridge that was the gold standard replacement back in the day and opinions have strayed from that standpoint since. My opinion has always been the same about the subject, ask me about it if you really want to know. Does this bass sound great nonetheless? Yes it does. It's not the lightest bass in the house but not as heavy as some others from the same era. Case included.
