Guild B-50NT Acoustic Bass w/ pickup

Cosmetic condition: Very Good condition with a small ding on the top, some light checking and some other signs of this Bass’ age. There are no splits, cracks, structural repairs, etc. 8.5 out of 10 condition.

Tone Woods: Spruce Top with mahogany back and sides

Functional condition: Fully-functioning. Action is low and very easy to play with adjustability up and down to the player’s preference.

Description: This vintage, American-made Guild Bass sounds gigantic and is a blast to play. It’s incredibly resonant and lively and has a big, bold voice that doesn’t get flubby or inarticulate. The original built in pickup sounds great but is passive and really needs a DI with some boost to make it shine properly. Overall, this ol’ B-50 a very “musical” instrument with a lot of character and vibe and will make some lucky bassist very happy.
