Guy near the place in Arizona had this, got lucky as I am not normally here this time of year.
Bought it from the second owner, says the woman he got it from was a cowgirl player, whoever the thing seems nearly non played. Neck is near pristine and 8.5lb body is not at all bad either.

Played with one of these once back in the days though this one seems a bit nicer. Had Fender covers on it though everything else here would seem original?
One reason for semi chunky neck's excellent condition may be the lack of setup on the piece. Was very high with no intonation, strings were dated some as well. Kind of telling of the journeyman bass construction is the poor sanding and finish, note the the belly cut and grain through.

Whole of body has ripple from possible lack of sealer though I kind of like vibe of the bass, it's actually not a bad player after a rod tweak, new strings and some attention and neck though not large is chunk enough to be comfy.
