1987 USA GUILD PILOT 5-STRING BASS B605 CANDY RED ROSEWOOD PASSIVE J/J PICKUPS

Description: BIG SALE & FREE USA SHIPPING! Ahh, from the Westerly, RI plant comes this iconic 5-string bass. While not a time capsule piece this bass is much more satisfying to the player who views their instrument as a tool of self-expression and not an object of fleeting vanity. Yeah, it's got a few chips and dings but the color has aged to a deep candy apple red and is still quite appealing. More importantly, it has a clean maple neck with 22-fret rosewood fretboard and very, very little fret wear. Black Schaller tuners and a bone nut. It's a 34" scale with the string width set at 18mm at the bridge. That's about as wide as it gets but the Schaller roller bridge allows you to take it all the way down to 16mm if you desire. Width at the nut is just over 1 7/8". It's a passive bass with 2 Jazz style pickups and volume/volume/tone controls. You can pretty much get all the Fender Jazz Bass tones out of this with just a little more oomph. So for all of you that are worried about batteries dying here's an old-school setup that totally mitigates that issue. The bass is quite light at 8 1/2 lbs and has perfect balance. There are 2 small area on the headstock where the clear coat has lifted slightly and these appear as grayish areas under the clear lacquer. Comes in a Deluxe Gator hard case just like the expensive Warwick basses are equipped with. FREE USA SHIPPING (to the Lower 48) and a 30-day return privilege if you are not happy. The Bass Palace is combing through about 150 basses to choose some nice ones to list in early 2024. You would be wise to check back often to see what goodies appear and also to take advantage of possible sales!
