Early 1970s Greco RB-800 Maple Neck Bass Guitar w/ OHSC (Neck Through) (MIJ)

A classic copy from a classic brand, the Greco RB series was Greco's take on that famous brand that has an R and a B in their name. These basses are just as good, if not better than their USA counterparts! Depending on the model number, you got different features; some were bolt on, some were neck through. Some had single jacks, some had stereo. Some had two truss rods, some had one. This one is the deluxe daddy with stereo outputs, dual truss rods, maple and walnut neck through construction with flame maple wings finished in a glorious 3 tone sunburst. This is also one of the rarer RB-800s that sports a lacquered maple fingerboard!

The quality on this bass is the same that you'll find on every Greco instrument, and that is seriously darn good. This bass is rocking a seriously flamed and figured maple body, high quality chrome plated hardware and a mean set of Maxon pickups to pump out some huge tones. The attention to detail is incredible as always and the bass sounds incredible and plays like a total weapon. Freshly setup with 45-100s, this one has a slight improvement made to the playability with a slightly deepened bridge cavity route to allow better adjustment of the saddles, as well as some reglued binding in some spots. Aside from that the bass is all original and in great condition for its age. Comes with its original hard shell case!
