    Description

    This Phred Ernesto bass is out of production and very rare.  It plays smoothly and sounds very nice through an amplifier.  That being said, it is being sold "AS IS", no returns because it has cosmetic and structural damage.  Its not a collector's item but a useful studio tool or beater for gigging to get a punchy semi-hollow, short scale bass sound.  I am showing and reporting everything exactly so there can be no returns.
    Look at the pictures.  It has a cracked head that's been clamped and glued.  I'm not a luthier but the job seems to be stable and doesn't rattle or move around.  It has a minor crack at the nut.  It has crackling at the neck joint  and where the upper frets meet the body on the top.  It has two major dings and a minor ding, plus normal hazing etc.  Its dark blue, although it looks more black in the photos.  I've shown all damage.  It had crackling in the electronics which I solved quickly with a spray of electric connection spray but I doubt it has high quality jacks inside.
    Despite the damage it sounds really good!  I take it these are generic far-east pickups but they're fine.  The year is 2000s or 2010's.  It has an approximately 29.75" scale and 24 frets.  Its lightweight and well-balanced.  The Rotosound short scale strings are pretty new and sound nice, although they barely fit, you may want to replace.  It comes with a roadrunner gig bag of minimal quality, that's too long and a tear inside (Being brutally honest)
    No picks or straps or anything else included.  Please no foreign or overseas buyers.  This is an "AS-IS" scale- please no returns- I have been meticulously detailed and honest for both of our satisfaction in this regard.
