This used Burns Marquee Reissue Bass guitar is in excellent cosmetic condition and shows only a few signs of play wear throughout including one small ding and two very small finish cracks in the neck pocket area (very common on bolt on instruments) that I have photographed. In other respects, this bass is in fantastic shape. The neck profile is a nice C shape with a nice bit of chunkiness and a 40mm nut width and feels extremely comfortable in hand. The frets on this Burns are in virtually unplayed condition and have a lifetime of use left in them. This instrument is set up with flat wound strings and plays outstanding up and down the fingerboard. The three Tri-Sonic pickups offer a variety of tones from thin and surfy to warm, round and thumpy and sound fantastic in every position. All of the electronics operate smoothly and quietly. This bass has Shadows White finish throughout (body, peghead and neck) and is one of very few that I’ve encountered, as most have natural maple necks. This is a very well made, great sounding and unique bass that harkens back to the days when surf was king. A gem of a bass shipped out safely and promptly from our little shop here in Clarksville, Tennessee, to your front door.
