PRS       Paul Reed Smith       CE-BASS 4       1990       “RELIC”       SN:  040092       BOLT ON NECK   From my personal collection:     As many others, I became a fan of PRS guitars from the first one I saw and then a rabid fan after the first time holding one.  In many ways, they are the perfect guitar.  Over the next few weeks, I will be listing more PRS guitars from my collection.       This bass guitar is from 1990, coming toward the end of the product cycle for the first PRS Bass Guitar series in 1991.  It is most likely the best playing PRS bass I own.  A great guitar.       And I believe these PRS bass guitars from the early history of the PRS Company are destined to become important guitars to PRS collectors and sought out by players.       I also believe that those players who have never played a PRS bass will be impressed with its sound capabilities and its great playability but more so with its high quality level of components and build. The wood is better, the hardware is better, the finish is better-even the screws are high quality and longer-than you find on 95% of other guitars and they are MADE IN THE USA.       DETAILS OF THIS BASS GUITAR:       1.      Built in 1990.       2.      Four String.       3.      Solid Alder Body.       4.      Curly Maple Top.       5.      Bolt On Rock Maple Neck.       6.      Brazilian Rosewood Fretboard.       7.      Dot Inlays.       8.      3 Single Coil Pickups plus 1 Hum Canceling.       9.      PRS pre-amp.       10.       5 position rotary switch.       11.       Finish is:  PRS BLACK TRANSPARENT STAIN.               This guitar is in excellent operational condition and in Fair cosmetic condition.  It has been played well and is naturally “reliced”.  But the quirky thing is that the wear is mostly on the body with the neck, hardware etc. still looking in excellent condition so I think this guitar was held a lot more than it was playd. Frets are jumbo and show playing wear but are still in good playable condition.  Back of body shows belt buckle wear and has lots of scratches, dings, dents, etc.                It does not have an original case which were an option at the time this guitar was purchased.  It does have an OEM case that works very well.       For buyers outside the continental USA, please ask for shipping quote before buying this item.  Thank you.       Please remember to read our policies and procedures listed below.       The guarantee.       1.                The guitar is in VERY GOOD cosmetic condition and is as described in this ad.  It has the usual dings, dents, scratches, marks, wear et al that you normally find on an used guitar.       2.               The guitar is in fully operational condition.       3.               Buyer has 48 hrs. to inspect the guitar or have it inspected.  Any defects, damage, misrepresentations or other problems must be reported within that time period in writing to the Seller.       4.               In the case of damage during shipment, Buyer shall immediately inform seller of such damage and will maintain all original packing materials and box for inspection by the transportation company.       5.               If other problems are discovered, Seller will either arrange for repair etc. at a location near the Buyer or request that the Buyer return the guitar to the Seller (Seller will reimburse Buyer for cost of shipment of guitar back to Seller).       6.               Seller will correct indicated problems and ship the guitar back to the Buyer within 7 days of receiving it.       7.               In the event that the guitar cannot be repaired or replaced with a similar item from Seller’s inventory, the Seller will give the Buyer Credit toward current or future purchases from inventory of Seller.       8.               No refunds or returns for Buyer Remorse or Buyer Mind Changing.    9.               If there are any undisclosed physical attributes of this guitar that will prevent buyer from playing it successfully, e.g., neck to wide to be played with arthritic hands, guitar too heavy to be played due to back, shoulder, etc. problems , then we will, upon return of the guitar, issue a Credit Memo to Buyer in the amount paid for the guitar plus the cost of shipment paid by the Buyer against the future purchase of a guitar from us
