Up for sale, a 1980s Charvel Model 1B in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced in Japan from 1986-89, this sleek, no-frills bass is quintessential ‘80s cool through and through, featuring a quarter-sawn rock maple neck, poplar body, and a single split-coil J20 Precision-style pickup.
Tonewoods deliver a balanced, neutral acoustic response with an ideal balance of articulation and low-end roundness. The J20 split-coil pickup has plenty of growl and thunder on tap, punchy and clear-sounding across all registers. Weighing 8lbs 14oz, this Model 1B has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 50-105 roundwound strings, comfortable action, and accurate intonation.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Rock maple (quartersawn)
-Shape: Slender D, measuring .800” 1st fret, .955” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Maple slab, black dot inlay
-Frets: Jumbo, no wear
-Scale Length: 34”
-Nut: 1.650” (42mm)
-Tuners: Jackson GB7B
Body Specs:
-Wood: Poplar
-Pickups: Jackson J20 split-coil
-Controls: Volume, Tone
-Hardware: Jackson CBT-02 bridge, dome-top knurled knobs
The gloss Black finish shows light pick scuffing on top and some minor dings and finish scratches, largely along the lower bout perimeter. The ambered gloss on the neck profile is clean and smooth with only a couple shallow marks.
A padded gigbag is included.
