If you can find one cheaper than this you should buy it! I played this heavily for about a year straight resulting in some wear and tear on the finish as seen in the photos. I bought it straight from the factory at a discount because of the blemish on the back side. None of these things affects its sound or playability. This things a beast but I don’t really play the bass anymore. Comes with gig bag and some Allen keys. Will trade for select pointy guitars!!!
