Previously being owned by bass legend Mick Hawksworth, this 1978 Gibson RD Artist bass is an incredible instrument thats in fantastic condition for its age. It is still boasting its original sunburst finish with very few signs of wear, bar a chip on the back of the headstock. The serial number is hard to see but after a bit of cleaning and the use of black light weve found it to read: 73348077, which would date it to 1978. Hardware and electronics wise, this bass is completely factory spec and does not have any replacement parts. Mick preferred playing fretless basses so the frets have been removed and the slots have been filled, however with help from a good luthier, this would easily be reversable. This bass does need a little TLC as weve chosen to leave it in the condition we received it in however, if you are willing to put in the effort, this bass is one that will supply you with an incredible tone and a lifetime of incredible playability..
