Product Description
Here we have a late 60's Lyle model 1820 Jazz style bass with everything in fine working order. The bass is a nice takeoff on a Fender bass style but not a copy. Lyle basses were made in Japan during the 60's-70's at the Matsumoku factory which was known for high quality instruments and competed with the American market with their copies (known as the lawsuit era). Matsumoku made this 1820 style under the Aria, Conrad and Lyle badges (that I have owned, not sure about others).
The electronics include a pair of single coil pickups with chrome covers, volume and tone controls and a three way toggle. All of the electronics work as they should.
The neck is straight, I haven't needed to adjust with truss rod but I assume it works correctly. The action is super low, fast and comfortable. The rosewood fingerboard has 20 frets, the scale measures 30 1/2" from nut to bridge (short scale). The neck is not overly thin but not a baseball bat, measuring 1 3/4" at the nut and 2 1/2" at the pocket. This bass has the fender lawsuit headstock with original chrome Japanese tuners, not like the Fenders tuners.
The body is in very nice shape, a few dings, some very light scratches and scuffs. There is no finish checking or buckle rash. The pick guard is perfect, the rosewood thumb rest in place. The bass is nice and glossy with a gorgeous 3 tone sunburst finish.
The bridge is original and adjustable. The original chrome bridge cover is in place. All chrome is without pitting or marking. She retains her headstock logo, four chrome tuners are original.
Labella round wounds will come detuned for shipping.
There is a appropriate period chipboard case and will be shipped well packed.
This bass blows away a new Squire.
