Looks good. Red sticker(?) on the scratch plate.

Also, some leopard print on the tailpiece... Regardless of a couple of stickers, that looks like a really nice bass. :)
I started ElDegas.com many years ago to help celebrate and inform about El Degas instruments. It all started with a used Ric 4000 bass copy I bought in circa 2000.

I bought this Bass last Tuesday evening.

Hasn't been in use for a while, was in storage.

Needs setup BAD. G string tuning peg is missing it's dial...so you can see someone has been tuning with pliers. Need to get that replaced.

Wiring needs work. Re-Solder and clean.

Bass is hollow...super narrow neck. Very light...feels like you are holding a guitar.

Some fissuring on the neckboard from the base..so you can tell its been dropped once or twice. Otherwise, the main body is Pristine. A nice find...can't wait to get it fixed up.

The violin bass is certainly a unique instrument. I dig mine, light as a toothpick!
