This is a Playtech 6-string bass. I purchased it used and played it for about two years, but I'm selling it to make room for a new 6-string bass I acquired. The string bushing for the 1st string is missing, but it functions without any particular issues. I used it tuned down a half step to A#, but there were no problems. A soft case is not included. It will be packed in cardboard with cushioning material for shipping. Please ask any questions in the comments.
