Made in Japan Violin Bass with Silvertone Branding. Made in the well known Matsumoku Factory in the mid 60s. In good shape, especially for a 75 yr old instrument, some finish cracks as are common with older guitars with thicker finishes. All binding is in perfect condition, neck is straight. Looks good, feels good, sounds good. Medium 31" scale. Comes with your choice of strings: nickel flats, black nylon flats, or rounds. Gig bag included. I don't play this one so much, so it needs a new Boss. No smoking, no pets, no kids at home. Please send your phone number for a prompt reply. I'll meet somewhere mutually convenient, masked, sanitized, all precautions taken. I am older than this bass, so I am currently an endangered species, and I will regard you as one also.
