This older M5V is rather cool with the transparent black finish with block inlays. The top of the bass is in great condition. The back, however, has gotten pretty worked over the years so there is some chowdering on the very back and damage around the control plate and battery cover. It's strictly cosmetic and nothing structural. Plus, it's on the back so neither you nor anyone else is going to see it while you're playing. Just over 9 lbs. and priced ridiculously low because of the cosmetic issues. New, this bass would be well over $7K. WEIGHT: 9 lbs. 2 ozs.
