Description Brand: Firstman Mosrite Dexterity: Right-Handed Model: Avenger String Configuration: 6 String Body Type: Solid
Up for sale, a 1970s Mosrite/Firstman two pickup in good working order. This bass follows the Mark I styling of the Ventures Model Mosrite basses of the 1960s, but was produced in Japan in the early '70s as a result of an agreement between Semie Moseley and the Firstman company. Made alongside the Mosrite Avenger guitars, the basses are far rarer. The guitar weighs in at an about 9lbs, there's just enough weight to give the bass solid sustain and acoustic presence, while still being fairly light and balancing well. The neck has a very round and chunky C shaped profile, with a 30" scale length and slender 1 9/16" nut width that fills the palm comfortably and feels substantial without being unwieldy. There's some wear on the tops of the fret crowns from frets. The rosewood fretboard also has dot inlays seen on USA Mosrites, and a zero fret and metal nut. The headstock has the classic Mosrite "M" carve at the top and the Avenger name and logo. Pictures show that one of the tuners was replaced and is not original. The electronics work - pickups feature the "Mosrite" stamped plastic covers. The bridge, was replaced and a Badass bridge was installed. Pictures show the place wear the original bridge and cover had been and those holes filled. Cosmetically, this has some wear and a few rough spots as a played instrument. The body is in good shape and the defects are noted as best possible in the photos.The guitar has been in storage in a clean and smoke free environment.
