Hello Guys....
Is this really an small body?
How this body compares in size with a brown Bass ? or with a Distillate? Do you know?
Thanks in advance.

David Houck

The body on a Brown Bass is the small standard body.

claudio

Thanks Dave...
Then is this one smaller or bigger than the Brown's small standard body?

Claudio,
They are one in the same. The new brown bass body is taken from the old Small Standard Series body style.
And yes this little one is very tempting.

Thanks Ed!!
I wondering if the PF-6 electronics that the seller mentionated are an upgrade from the original electronics, any idea?

David Houck

PF-6 would have been the original on a '78.

David Houck

Cool!  Yes, on this particular bass there appear to be Purpleheart lams between the body wings and the neck.
