I used to own that one! I sold it about 7 years ago for about half of his asking price. It was all original when I had it. Played and sounded pretty good, but it wasn't spectacular. I remember the clear coat flaking excessively all over. I mean really bad, which is why the finish on the back of the neck is down to the undercoat. I think I removed the flaking finish with a damp wash cloth. The clear coat wasn't as yellow either.

I had a cherry '86 that had a wide neck that I couldn't get used to. I'm not sure of the dims., but it was wider than my '82 Sunburst and '85 A5. I liked the sound of those two better also, so I sold it. I think BadgerDave had it for awhile and then moved it. It was very clean, however and I loved the looks of it.

FWIW, my brother had a '78 P-bass that seemed to be full of dead spots. They weren't really noticeable until we started recording.
