Burns (Teisco) Electric Bass VB Vaiolone Bass 1960-1970s

Description: Burns (Teisco) Electric Bass VB Vaiolone Bass 1960-1970s - Black MIJ VintageWe have a rare Teisco-made Burns violin bass from the late 1960s to early 1970s!One of Teisco's most upscale violin basses, and also an instrument that adheres more closely than most Japanese-made violin basses in its body shape and control layout to its Hofner 500/1 cousin (no relation).Featuring fully hollow construction with the traditional violin bass tonewood complement of a spruce top and maple back and sides, this bass also has the familiar control layout of a Hofner, with individual On/Off switches for each single coil pickup as well as a global two-way Tone switch. The bass has a broader and sweeter sound with the Tone switch in the Up position, and more tic-tac cut and upper midrange articulation with the switch in the Down position. Each pickup singled out has a distinctive, vital sound, with more smooth rumble and girth from the neck pickup, and more burp and detailed cut from the bridge position, which is present yet never “bright, “ with a rolled off high treble voicing.The neck is straight with ample fret life, although the original tuner for the third string is quite bent. There’s some finish wear on the lower body, but no structural damage. We’ve replaced the pickup on/off and tone switches with Switchcraft parts due to functionality issues, but all original components are preserved. The original pots and capacitors are intact and function perfectly.A hard case is included.【Shipping】FedEx or EMS Japan Post (It will take about 3-7 days to arrive) We will ship the item in 2-4 business days after the confirmation of your payment.【International Buyers - Please Note:】 Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost.
