Beskrivning
Rare mid-60s Meazzi Meteor Bass Extra, built in Italy during the company’s golden era.
Beautifully preserved and fully functional.
This is a high-quality example, fully original (only two tuner buttons and three tuner head screws replaced).
A remarkably good instrument, far above the average quality of 1960s Euro basses.
It plays smoothly, comfortably, and reliably, like a modern instrument. Easily comparable to much more expensive vintage basses. Very expressive with a killer tone.
