Has been carefully used at a few open mikes and practice sessions but still in excellent condition - see photos. Through an amp it sounds great. It can be played acoustically but it has a fairly low volume unless you use a lot of pressure with the right hand. I have fitted a Planet Waves "O-Port" enhancer to the sound hole - easily removed if you don't want to use it. Comes complete with well-padded Roksak gig bag with storage pockets, carrying handle and back-straps. The bass has been stored in the bag since new in our smoke-free and pet-free home. Selling due to need to reduce my collection prior to moving.
