nice gibson rd artist 4 string active bass from 1978. maple neck and natural finish. good condition, but some scratches and dings on the body due to her age and er utilisation. one of the three switches makes noise when switching, and the neck's finish is quite worn. huge sound, either chunky or ultra aggressive ! the output power of this instrument is very high( active electronic from moog) the wheight is very high. this bass has personality, but i sell it due to the fact that i already own a gibson ripper and a music man stingray, i don't play it very often, so i prefer selling it to someone whi will play it has his principal instrument.
