Up for sale, a 1978 Greco Speed Way GOB1200 bass in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced concurrently with the Ibanez Musician basses at the venerable Fujigen factory in Japan, this flagship Speed Way bass model is finely crafted from an array of premium tonewoods with gold hardware and notable tonal flexibility.

This bass features seven-ply maple/walnut neck-through construction with a striped ebony fretboard, and the body wings are crafted from a maple core sandwiched between a sen ash carved top and back. At 12lbs 2oz, this Greco has exceptional natural sustain and sonic authority, with a midrange-forward punch and glassy articulation faithfully captured by the PU-3B humbuckers. These pickups are rich and warm, with a smooth, present sweetness to the trebles and plenty of wooly fullness in the low end. Additionally, the active three-band EQ enables tons of tonal sculpting flexibility, with sounds ranging from bright and intense to massive, thundering thump. This GOB1200 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-105 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.
