Talk about a thump master supreme, this Alembic style 1978 Greco Speedway GOB-700 was made at the famed Japanese Fuji-Gen Factory where quality and craftsmanship are at the forefront of every instrument that leaves their luthiers. It features a full 34" scale and neck through body design. Neck-through construction means sustain for days, and when paired with the hybrid bone/brass nut, you're in for a tonal treat that's both clear and deep. The triad of maple neck and mahogany stringers, bordered with those luscious walnut body wings, is like the holy trinity of tone woods. As for the pickups, they’re channeling the spirit of the Gibson EB-0 for a fat, rounded sound that's got more bottom than your amp will know what to do with. The neck is incredibly playable with a medium D profile and a gloss finish. Access to the upper frets is unbridled and the instrument has a beautifully smooth taper from the neck to the body. The 20 medium size frets have plenty of life left.

Equipped with a dual set of Maxon PU-3B humbuckers wired to the original harness (master volume, 3 way selector and dedicated tone control for each pickup), this bass packs plenty of heft and punch and respond exceptionally well to any playing style. Capable of a wide range of tones to adapt to any genre, the frequency response of these pickups is well balanced with roaring low end, balanced mids and plenty of top end harmonics.

This bass is a stunner, dripping with that vintage 70s charm. The chunky neck has a beefy C profile has quite a bit of girth and roundness. This bass has a meaty natural sustain with plenty of thump and low end that can growl when driven and maintains an articulate and punchy well defined mid-range. The "PU-3B" pickups have a warm and smooth treble response. The slab rosewood fretboard contrasts beautifully with the natural finish on the body, which consists of a beautiful ash and mahogany sandwich. It has been Professionally setup for optimal tone and playability with low action and spot-on intonation. The stock electronics work flawlessly and are 100% original.

Cosmetically this bass is in player friendly condition with tons of play-wear and natural mojo. It exhibits small dings, dents, scuffs and minor patina. There are some scratches on the pickup covers and on the body. It also has a repair around the input jack (see pics) All this is just proof that once you pick this bass up, you will have a hard time putting her down. Make this Greco your next partner on all your musical adventures. 

This guitar is professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. It has low action with no buzzing or dead spots and is an absolute joy to play. It has been deep cleaned and detailed. All guitars will arrive looking and playing great. The frets have been leveled / dressed / polished and the fingerboard was cleaned. (Unfinished Rosewood and Ebony boards get treated with Fret Doctor - a proprietary all natural oil that is the best on the market) It has brand new strings, the action was adjusted, the intonation is spot on and it plays excellent. All the electronics work flawlessly.

Simply put “good enough” is not good enough for The Guitar Dude’s standards. We try and make every guitar be at its absolute BEST to deliver on our promise.
