It's a Magnum 1 and a Damn fine bass. She's a wired for stereo, and even has a "mute" on the bridge that from the photo looks like it might be still in tip top. This one overall looks in good shape, and that is an excellent price. They stopped making them in the mid-late 70's I believe. My favorite part is that huge bridge... talk about sustain...

Short scale? Looks pretty bad ass. Those pick ups are real interesting. Get it, if it's not what you're after I'd say you have a real good chance of re-selling it quickly.

The bass/ stick player I work with has one just like it. Sounds amazing. Some weird hardware on those things though. I wonder what parts availability is like if you should ever have to replace anything. Know any good machinists? LOL.

MAgnums were all long scale. We made one short scale, it was blue with gold hardware. I forget who it was for, maybe Dr Hook, but for some reason they never got it and we sold it to someone else. Has thois bass ever surfaced?
