1977 Gibson RD Artist Bass in good condition. Natural finish, maple fretboard, serial 72997128. Original Moog circuitry. Fully set up in our workshop with a set of flat-wound strings. It has a slim nut width, measuring only 41mm. Depth at 1st fret is 21.2mm. The weight is 11lbs 13oz. This bass guitar was made at the Kalamazoo Plant, MI, USA.
There are 2 extra screw holes at the butt end of the bass and 2 on the inside edge of the heel from someone repositioning the strap buttons. There are few small scuffs/dings around the edges of the body and some wear around the volute which is a common area of wear from being left resting in one of those old-school guitar stands with the rubber tubing. Everything remains structurally sound with no breaks or repairs. The neck and fretboard are relatively clean. The neck is straight and the action is nice and low. The frets are in great shape and the truss rod is fully functioning. This is a superb bass to play with a great range of tones.
Maple set neck and body, custom-designed active electronics with built-in compression/expansion, bright and neutral modes. 3-way pickup selector. 34 1/2 inch scale. Pearloid dot inlays and headstock motif. This bass is active with no passive mode. Electronics designed by Moog. Gibson humbucker pickups.
