Greco VB500, Honey Burst, made in Japan 1977. Do you live in a yellow submarine? Are you one of the lonely people? Do you despise the taxman?If you answered yes to any of these questions then this bass could be the instrument you've been yearning for deep down in your lonely heart. This is a beautiful example of a classic style 'Beatle Bass' that has aged like fine wine. The humbucker pickups and spruce/maple combination work together to give a deeply warm yet articulate woody tone. So get yourself a bowl cut, plug in this tasty relic and you'll be writing bass lines before you can say you've been working like a dog.
