Wow. That thing looks like it came out of Eastern Europe. Probably impossible to intonate and hyper microphonic. I want it (not bidding though, no money to throw at it).

Well, looks like an Electra neck, but the body is undoubtedly a mid-60's Hagstrom Kent bass - think I'll bid !! and I did, I'm in ---

"This model (PB-24-G) is almost a solid version of the

original glitter models, arriving in 1962. No longer the

plug-in pu unit, but still the looks and

yet was still being produced up to around 1966 under

various brands (Kent, Hagstrom, Selmer etc)"
