Description from the seller
Japanese vintage neck-through bass (Matsumoku, circa 1974–1978)
A high-quality Japanese vintage E-bass from the mid-1970s is for sale, manufactured in the legendary Matsumoku Factory (Japan).
Description
The bass features a through-neck (neck-through-body) construction with multi-layered build, a very sturdy neck, and a natural/walnut finish.
It is significantly heavy (> 4.5 kg) and offers considerable sustain and a powerful, warm vintage tone.
The bass is equipped with two split-coil pickups (P-Bass style), passive electronics (volume / tone), and original Japanese wiring with B500 potentiometers. The wiring is unrestored and original.
Technical Data
Year of manufacture: approx. 1974–1978
Origin: Japan (Matsumoku manufacturing)
Construction: Neck-Through
4-stringed
Pickups: 2× Split-Coil (P-Style)
Electronics: passive (Volume / Tone)
Neck profile: very strong
Weight: > 4.5 kg
Natural / Walnut
Fretboard: rosewood with dot inlays.
Original hardware and electrical systems
state
Good age-appropriate condition with typical signs of play and use of an instrument over 45 years old.
No structural damages, neck straight, playable.
Originality was deliberately preserved (no modernizations).
classification
The bass comes from Matsumoku production, as it was made for, among others, Aria, Electra, Westone, and Univox.
Since the headplate decal is missing, an exact brand designation is no longer possible — however, the manufacturing and construction are clearly Matsumoku.
Klang
Very powerful, centered vintage sound with a lot of sustain. Ideal for:
Rock
Classic Rock
Program
Funk / Soul (70s)
early metal sounds
Shipping well packed or pickup by arrangement.
