Japanese Reissue back in 1996. Made famous by The Cure and the Beatles, It's a 30 inch scale length 6 string bass tuned in standard E to E an octave down. Not exactly the ideal instrument to learn guitar on, but it was my first guitar. They say the reissues don't sound the same as the originals.... 3 single coils pickups with a vibrato. It's not without some flaws. The bridge design is terrible and can move out of position when using the vibrato. It's got a unique and very specific sound though. Not a very versatile instrument. The best part though is definitely in its looks.
