Description: Charvel Pre Production era Explorer BassIn the early days of Charvel San Dimas they sold custom guitars and were also parts suppliers. A good portion of guitars found today are built with such parts or have been altered or swapped.This bass I put together using vintage and NOS parts. The body was NOS Charvel made with the Dimarzio Woodburn stamp. It had no drill holes or pickup mounts or input jack hole. The neck is Vintage used with Schaller tuners.The bridge is NOS Dimarzio and was still in the box. The control plate was NOS but needed some shaping as it was Tele sized and too shiny for this application, some aging was applied.The pickup is a Vintage used Dimarzio Dp-122 P-bass pickup. It sounds great.This Bass is not a light Bass by any means. It weighs 11 lbs. Although the body is NOS there may be some shelf wear, no deep scratches or dings but some rubs can be seen. However, it plays and sounds incredible.Pre Production Charvel guitars and Basses have been gaining in collectability, they are well worth it.I do not have a case for this.
