1966 Mosrite Ventures Bass. This is one of the first Ventures basses made when they switched to two pickup models with their signature duck foot tuners in 66'. The white with tortoise pick guard is  very rare for the two pickup version. I'd say the cosmetic condition is good. Its definitely way better than most Mosrite's of this age. It plays great and sounds amazing! everything seems to be original with exception of a toggle switch replacement. There are plenty of nicks and scratches on the neck and body as could be expected with an instrument this age. You can see in the pictures that theres a small hole in the very bottom of the pick guard where one of the screws was. The body was refinished by MJT to reflect the original white nitro paint but aged to vintage white with a little yellowing around the edges, complete with light linear checking. (At some point it it's life it was painted to match a speed boat.) Its hard to capture how beautiful the vintage white is with pictures. Its not bright white. Check out the MJT website for a better idea. There is no case but it will be packaged very well with insurance. Due to age its sold as-is. Let me know if you have any questions!
