Description
Exceptionally rare & ultra cool acoustic bass made by Ernie Ball in Costa Mesa, CA. Ernie Ball pioneered some the earliest large body acoustic basses at the start of the '70s, with production numbers being relatively low. We've had several of these beauties over the years & they don't stick around for very long, so don't miss out on a great opportunity to own this exciting & unique gem. The bass has been professionally set up by us & sounds fantastic, with a rich, deep tone - tons of fun to play!
