Tom 785 735 35OO Leave a message with a call back number if you get the machine. cleaned and polished the neck and body, cleaned the fingerboard, cleaned and polished the frets, cleaned the controls (no scratchy pots), installed new round wound strings (GHS 44-106) adjusted the intonation, etc. Not at all like the stuff coming from China today. I am impressed with the condition and original craftmanship of the bass. The back of the neck is perfectly smooth. Structurally the bass has no issues, a solid instrument.
There is one ding on the top edge of the body that needs mentioned. It is used and has very light handling wear. electronics, truss rod, bridge saddles, tuners etc. EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION!! It comes with the padded Levy's EM 8 gig bag case you see in the pictures.įeatures include: chrome hardware, sealed tuners, bullet truss rod adjustment nut, 20 fret maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with dot markers, two pickups, 2 volume controls, master tone control, contoured body, adjustable bridge, three tone sunburst body finish. It is truely a GREAT PLAYING/SOUNDING BASS! 100% original and complete. FIND 1000s of Antiques, Art, Vintage & RARE Collectables - each item. Obviously, this bass was inspired by the 1970's Fender American Standard Jazz Bass. Customer Ratings : Number ratings grade Elvis Presley Guitar Plates objectively. This is a SAMICK VALLEY ARTS CUSTOM PRO SHOP ELECTRIC BASS GUITAR. Valley Arts Standard Pro Usa, White Very Rare Low Serial Number Pre Samick Complete Set Collectors Grade Finish.
Manufacturing was then shifted to the Far East and the guitars were ultimately produced under Samick's own brand name, while the US Custom shop also kept going for a few years utilizing parts and possibly woods imported from Korea (Duncan designed pickups etc., cheaper electronics etc.) producing better quality instruments than the ones made in Korea under Samick's own brand.BEAUTIFUL BASS, GREAT VALUE!! As good or better than a Mexican made Fender Jazz Bass.
I found another posting about a guitar which is exactly like mine barring the tremolo:įrom what I have learned Samick bought Valley Arts outright in 1993 and there was an overlap period from 1992-93 with the original valley arts guys. The headstock is Samick designed as I've learned. All the parts say 'Made in the USA', the humbucker is a Seymour Duncan Trembucker (TB-4), the single coils early Duncan SSL-1's (confirmed on the SD forum), the trem is a Kahler, tuners are valley arts. Its a Valley Arts California Pro (serial number CAL 01084) - from the Samick/Valley Arts Overlap period from the looks of it. I'm hard pressed for information on a guitar I bought recently.
